Dr Richardson is amazing! She’s very patient and answered all my questions thoroughly and in terms I could understand. I’m currently dealing with an inflammatory issue that doesn’t fit into a clear auto-immune category and I so appreciated the time she took to weigh in on this issue. She’s a great listener, is caring and compassionate, and shows a genuine interest in her clients and their health. I wish all doctors could have the same combination of expertise and warm, caring style as Dr. Richardson!

Just met her yesterday and asked why she chose schleroderma as a specialty and loved her response. Need more active advertising about these autoimmune diseases and disorders to gain money for research - heart, lung, cancer, etc., are getting the big bucks. When this disease is full-blown, there is no cure but they are plugging away at it if only. Maybe your organization could help more with that.

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.
