5.0 star star star star starShe was very thorough explaining my healing process after surgery. She also went above & beyond to schedule follow up appointments that better fit us due to our three hour drive to Chicago. Great personality!

5.0 star star star star starShe has a genuine concern for each patient. Having gone through spinal surgery and then having a meeting with here, it is apparent that she wants each patient to heal as quickly as possible and with the least amount of pain. I would highly recommend her because of her knowledge and her concern for each patient.

5.0 star star star star starShe is very knowledgeable in the line of work that she performs and explains it so the patient can understand it in a none medical language. Some of us don't understand some of the technical phrases. Very prompt for my appointment and no waiting. I was in and out in approximately ten to fifteen minutes and had everything explained to me about the follow up care and restrictions.
Disclosures
Kelly Sheppard, APRN 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.
