She has been my doctor for many years. She performed shoulder replacement on me in 2012. She has also treated me for osteoporosis. She prescribed Prolia for me about three years ago. I had a bad reaction and did not continue taking it. She said it works for about 90% of the people but it didn't work for me. She agreed I should discontinue the medication. Today I saw her as a followup to a Dexa Scan. It had been three years since I had seen her. My diagnosis has gone from osteopenia to osteoporosis. She took a lot of time with me and suggested some minor changes to the medications and foods I have been taking to add calcium. I did not want to take medications because of my experience with Prolia and she didn't press me to do so. I appreciate 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.
