Dr Wilsbacher is an extremely busy person. She works long hours and it seems each hour is jampacked with potential customers for NWCardiology. I was one of those folks entering the top of the funnel. Dr W was very helpful in describing, what is to me, a wholly unknown part of medicine, Genetics. She seems very intelligent and patient in her descriptions. It is kind of a teeter tauter, moving between the specifics of my upper aorta and the balance of my vascular system. My aorta's dilation has many folks concerned. There is a good reason for that. The genetic sampling suggests that we might take away a better understanding of why my entire vascular system is misbehaving. We'll see. For now, I am extremely likely to recommend Dr Wilsbacher for care. But we have just walked out onto a very unknown place. I look forward to the next step.

Lisa D. Wilsbacher, MD, PhD 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.
