She has been fantastic from the start. She is so very genuine, knowledgeable, a fantastic listener, thorough while explaining whatever is necessary or needed. Her demeaner is fresh and soothing. Katie made me feel so comfortable while taking all the time needed to get to know and understand me and my wishes. Most important, to me, is that she has a tremendous sense of humor and certainly made me laugh more than once. Our world certainly needs more laughter

She exudes confidence & knowledge. She listens. She understands your situation and the journey even personal. She is compassionate, empathetic and a caring professional. I don't have enough words to truly convey what she has meant to both myself and my partner. We are not afraid of what is inevitable because we know she is there for us. She is the " warmest hug" Thank you Katie from the bottom of our hearts 💕

Disclosures

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.
