Dr. Bowers was fantastic. She was patient and listened to my concerns to make sure I received the best prescription for my contacts / glasses.

I really appreciate the care with which she approaches her patients.

Dr Bowers did an excellent job. She thoroughly examined me and explained in detail everything she was doing and seeing. It turned out my contacts were over prescribed and I went from -2.5 in both eyes to -1.75 in left eye and -2.25 in my right eye. She also showed me some new daily contacts that feel so nice on my eyes. My vision has improved also with the new prescription. I couldn't be happier. I will 100% return to see Dr Bowers for future optometry needs.

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.
