What I appreciated most was that I brought a brace to see if it would help my foot. Rather than insist that I use some particular Northwestern-recommended brace, she let me put the brace on and show her how it fit. As it was clear that it was a decent enough splint, she approved it as part of my treatment. It meant a lot to me that I did not have to purchase anything extra, and that she listened to what I had to say about how the nature of my foot condition had changed since my last visit.

Disclosures

Karla E. Stewart, PA-C 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.
