5.0 star star star star starHer preparation before the appointment,her intelligence, her interest in me as a patient and her conveyance of the fact that she was aware of my condition and treatment that would benefit me. Some of your doctors do not have even one of her qualities.

5.0 star star star star starI really like Dr Pickens and would strongly recommend her to others. Not only did she look at my "pulmonary" problem but reviewed other tests and asked me questions about follow up on one of them. I did not feel that she was rushed. She took her time to understand, from my perspective, why I was there to see her.

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.
