5.0 star star star star starDr. Hopkins-Gil is kind, cheerful, attentive and makes me feel like I’m her only patient. No matter how busy she is, she always spends whatever time is needed to discuss my situation, answer questions and include me in the decision making process. She is overall a very supportive, likable and caring person.

5.0 star star star star starShe’s incredibly personable. Always cheerful, great listener, never rushes the appointment. She reads what’s going on in my chart (test results, notes and prescriptions from other doctors) and reviews my medications to see what might need a refill. This might seem commonplace but in my life experience it’s not. Two thumbs up for Dr. Hopkins-Gil.

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.
