Dr. Karna knows how to make our kids feel safe and welcomed at a doctors office. Even when they're sick and scared she just knows how to make them calm and let's them know she's going to take good care of them. I wouldn't bring my kids to anyone else. She is truly the best.

Dr. Karna is the best! While most physicians now if they don't have any openings in their schedule, will tell you to go to UC or ER, she always sees her own patients and is super accommodating. My kids absolutely adore her as she is always happy, smiling and kind to them.

Disclosures

Sandhya R. Karna, 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.
