See answer above- I've been under the care of Dr. Templer for about 10 yrs. I can't imagine having anyone else. No one wants epilepsy nor the need of a neurologist but if you have to have one, Dr. Templer MD is the #1 Top Notch in everything there is to offer.

Again, at this point, having only seen Dr. Templer for the first time, I find her compassionate, it was clear from our discussion she had read my chart and familiarized herself with my case prior to my arrival for my appointment with her. She seemed to understand my need and desire to learn what had happened to me, what had brought me to where I am today. Yet, she clearly wanted to "stay in her lane." I see the beginning of a good relationship built on trust and competence.

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.
