Kathy is an amazing healthcare provider! She listens to her patients and partners with them for their pain management. Kathy takes time to really understand what is working and and what's not and is willing to adjust her treatment plan for the benefit of her patients. Kathy invests her time into knowing her patients fully - not just their pain - so that they can live their best life.

Katherine has a very goodear. She is extremely compassionate and listens to your every concern. She provides you with a clear idea regarding how they might be able to help even going outside of typical recommendations on therapies beyond what the team can offer (PRP). She expertly explains medicines and therapies. She's honest when your problems are beyond pain management abilities, when surgical intervention is probably necessary.

Disclosures

Katherine Kovacic, 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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
