Again, she was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I feel confident that I am in good hands and will have good results. She had some visual aids to make sure I understood. Sounds like she does this a lot. Also told me about some clinical studies.

See above. She had reviewed my chart in advance of my visit and presented me with graphs of certain levels that had been tested previously. She was thorough in explaining my condition and why I needed further bloodwork. She did some scans in the office. She is very pleasant, professional and was willing to listen and answer any questions.

Disclosures

Rebecca L. Williams, MD, PhD 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.
