Samantha Duffy is a very good listener and providing me with a list of foods that are very applicable for me to apply to my diet _ many of which I already include surprisingly. It occurs to me now that I don't know when I'm going to be seeing her again as I did not make a reservation on my exit. I did Not forget to try to see my cardiologist before February 1927. No such luck.

Samantha was great. She explained the results of my ECG. She had made herself familiar with my past medical history and questioned me about a number of things. We (my wife and I) had many questions and Samantha was able to answer all of them. She explained next steps and why she was scheduling me for a procedure and what we hoped would be the outcome. At all times, my wife and I both felt confident that we were getting good information and great care. Although the results of the ECG were disappointing, Samantha outlined a number of possible ways that we could address the problem and that we would know even more with further tests and procedures. It is so nice when confronted with news that is not always the best to have someone who is so kind and knowledgeable treating you. Thank you.

You need a number higher than 10. See above (but if your software limits that, above I wrote..,.Samantha Duffy is one of the more remarkable medical team members I've ever dealt with, not just at Northwestern, but in decades. She was unrushed, thorough in recording my history, and in my physical. Additionally, she helped accommodate scheduling issues of my immediate echo, as well as exercise echo now needed. She followed up with me regarding test results via phone message, and portal, and when I didn't acknowledge (I didn't know she'd follow up so soon) she followed up again. She's sensational.

Disclosures

Samantha J. Arner, APRN reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2025.

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.
