Patient, thorough, listened to my concerns re neck/left shoulder/shoulder blade/arm pain and will wait to hear from me in 2-3 wks. If not better, will order a cervical MRI. Answered my questions in language I understood and was very thorough in her examination of me. Did not feel rushed. A truly positive experience.

The phone visit yesterday. Her knowledge and attitude combined made me feel relaxed and that I was in good hands. The in-office was good, but the My Chart discussion was less so. Something about the scheduled phone session just really clicked and was so helpful. I felt that I was welcome to ask as many questions as I had, about anything regarding my scoliosis treatment. Alex knows her stuff and answered my questions in a professional and friendly manner. I feel more oriented now regarding the path forward than I have in years.

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.
