Dr. Wilsbacher is extremely knowledgeable, articulate, and kind. You do not often get the full package all in one package. I am lucky. Dr. Wilsbacher looks you in the eye and explains things thoroughly. She can take the "portable paraffin illuminator" vocabulary of the medical profession and comfortably translate it into the kind of "candle" that I can understand.

I feel that Dr. Wilsbacher is really focused, knows what she is doing, and continues to grow her experience and knowledge as a Cardiologist. She has diagnosed my issues and treatment correctly, so I guess you might say that she saved my life. It is about a two hour drive for an appointment, but well worth it. My wife comes with me and Dr. Wilsbacher is kind and receptive to both of us. I appreciate that very much.

Disclosures

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.
