I would give her 100 times infinity I could. She is absolutely amazing and very thoughtful. She listens to her patient and I don't feel rushed or unheard. Everything about my experience in this facility and with my Dr. is absolutely Amazing. I felt heard and everything about where to begin to get my health back was explained to me in terms I can clearly understand. Give her her own practice and I guarantee every patient she has or has seen will follow her to continue care. I know I would. I changed to Blue Cross when Meridian no longer was accepted just to stay in Northwestern facilities for my healthcare and Cathleen.

She was extremely helpful and listened to all my concerns. Gave real life solutions for the issues I was dealing with. When I asked her if we could find out if I was diabetic, she, took the time to do the test herself and gave me the answer in a very short time frame. She also gave me the blood sugar levels that I could check myself at home. I would recommend her to everyone. Thank-You

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.
