My first visit with Dr. Kravarusic and she was just AWESOME!!! I am an RN and I was looking for a new Endocrinologist who could relate to me as a nurse and a complex human being who has a lot going on in the background in my life. The Dr. Kravarusic was unrushed, even though you could see she was very busy. Her manner is kind and caring and she is willing to work with you. I could not be happier. I hope she will continue to work at Northwestern Medicine for a very long time. I think I was blessed to find the Best!

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.
