I cannot say enough about Dr Gerard. She cares for the whole patient, not just neurologically. She takes time to explain things and really listens to my mother's concerns and fears and she explains things in a way that Mom can understand. She has become more than her neurologist; she is more like a trusted friend.

Dr Gerard is a great doctor. She listens carefully to everything I might ask her. She has solutions and if she does not have a solution she provides suggestions for websites which might help me. She makes use of other related departments such as the sleep clinic or movement disorders . When I come away from a visit with her I always feel sure that she cares about me and wants to help in whatever way she can. She is extremely smart and kind. A great doctor!

There are not enough words that describe the importance and care I receive from Dr. Gerard. She is an amazing neurologist who I've been seeing over the past 10 years. She is knowledgeable, decisive, attentive, wise and at the same time is always able to listen and answer any of my concerns or questions. I greatly appreciate that she is my doctor.

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.
