One of the best office visits I've ever had with a physician. She took a vast amount of time to go over my medical history and progression. She took detailed pictures of my symptoms.

Dr. Lipman has done an amazing job taking care of everything while I wait for the rheumatology appointment. She even put in referrals to urology and nephrology for me this week when my new primary care provider wouldn't respond to emails and would not review my abnormal labs (in over a week) so I could get the referrals.

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.

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.
