I believe my care at this site was pretty consistent from 2017 to 2021. My fault for a brief absence. Priorities sometimes shift. Glad to be back. And, glad to be reconnected with the staff. Betsy was attentive to learn what issues are now presenting and to strategize around possible spine surgery. Or, other near term solutions to relieve back and neuropathy pain.

Disclosures

Elizabeth K. Baruffi Rinaldi, PA-C 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.
