5.0 star star star star starDr. Bellaguarda was very kind, thorough, listened with empathy, and took her time to understand all aspects of the health concern. Zoe was also amazing and took her time to gain a full understanding to share with Dr. Bellaguarda. I very much appreciated their care with this sensitive situation.

5.0 star star star star starWords cannot express how I feel about Dr Bellaguarda. She is so easy to talk to and has a way of putting her anxious patients at ease. I felt so much better when I was able to speak with her prior to the procedure.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Emanuelle A. Bellaguarda is simply awesome. I, (and my wife), are so lucky to have her to treat our health issues. She is professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Explains the results of my tests in a clear and concise manner and listens to any questions I may have with a response I am able to understand. I always receive prompt responses through MyChart for any questions or concerns I may have. I am confident that I am receiving the best possible care with Dr. Bellaguarda. It should be noted that her assistant, Paige, does a great job in communicating in a prompt manner to my questions/concerns. Paige did an awesome job in assisting when Humira was no longer available for my treatment. She helped facilitate the replacement biosimilar medication to ensure no injections were missed. Job Well Done!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Bellaguarda is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. She takes the time to really listen and explain everything clearly, which made me feel confident and well cared for throughout my treatment. Nurse Paige is equally fantastic - so kind, responsive, and helpful. She's always on top of things and makes the entire process smoother and less stressful. You can tell that both Dr. Bellaguarda and Paige genuinely care about their patients. I'm very grateful to have them as part of my care team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent GI care.

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.
