This was my first time seeing Dr. Lipman. I was extremely pleased with her in every way. Her knowledge...I have never had an exam as thorough. She performed the exam in a way that made me very comfortable and not at all ill-at-ease, which is quite an accomplishment for this particular procedure. Her kindness and demeanor was absolutely what is often missing in healthcare. She is a real asset to Northwestern. I feel blessed to now be a patient of hers!

Disclosures

Rachel E. Lipman, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
