Dr. Kurtzer is kind and patient and clearly cares very much about my well-being, making sure I'm comfortable with the path forward, but also doing all she can to try to help me make progress, no matter what that looks like. I wish all providers at Northwestern, let alone at any other organization practiced trauma-informed care as she does, because everyone deserves it. Her approach makes healthcare accessible for me, whereas it it likely wouldn't be with any other provider.

She’s kind, patient, thoughtful, and very considerate. I’m so grateful I was referred to her, and her team works well together. They have so much attention to detail to make sure I’m as comfortable as possible, even making note of small details like the supplies needed and dimming the lights to help me manage my chronic condition. I wish all providers offered the same high level of care and compassion, with the same commitment to a trauma-informed practice. No matter our experiences, everyone deserves to feel safe when trying to seek medical care.

I’d highly recommend Dr. Kurtzer. She’s kind, trauma-informed, and does what she can to meet me where I am, and I’ll be forever grateful. She’s willing to take the time to really consider my questions and provide support and resources when she can, to coordinate care and also to help me feel comfortable. I know that this is something that the medical system doesn’t usually allow providers to do, but I’m so grateful she’s dedicated to find a way to do it without ever making me feel like a burden.

OMG! The most knowledgeable human on pre,”me-no-pause” and post menopause. She spent time with explaining everything that is happening. And a thorough exam but no typical, Pap smear, no it was not. It was more about checking sensitivity and pelvic strength. Amazing! Thank you Dr. Kurtzer for imparting your wisdom.

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.

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.
