5.0 star star star star starDr. Wendel literally saved my life on my very first visit with her. I was hesitant that this doctor i just met, wanted to take a spot off my nose. Im so incredibly thankful she did..it was melanoma! She knows her stuff! The entire staff is exceptional! Very thankful for them all!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Wendel is so thorough. She always seems as if your treatment is the only thing she is thinking about or focused on. She is also very good at communicating what is happening and potential treatments and diagnoses.

5.0 star star star star starTo have a doctor perform a full body exam is NOT fun for the doctor OR patient. But I've had melanoma more than once and I need to be able to rely on my dermatologist....and I DO. She is also very kind when she has to do a biopsy or use liquid nitrogen.
Disclosures
Amanda B. Wendel, MD 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.
