Bright, personable, knowledgeable, kind, I trust her to be as good a doctor as she displayed to me at our appointment. Obviously since it took a number of months to get an appointment with her, others feel the same way I do!

Dr. Kelly took the time to understand my health history and my concerns, did a great job of both listening and explaining, and tailored an approach that made sense for me. Too many cardiologists seem to operate off a checklist with very little critical analysis involved. I'm very pleased to have found Dr. Kelly.

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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
