Veronica was awesome. I have never been disappointed in the care my family has received within the Gurnee ICC. Veronica was prompt, warm, and professional. She had a gentle touch when examining my finger and we even made a light joke about it. I'm grateful for providers like Veronica.

I was in and out in about 35-40 mins. Everyone from check-in administration, to vitals nurse, to Veronica were professional, kind and fast. I drove down the parking lot to Meier, waited about 15-mins, and had my medication in hand. I was prepared for a 3-4hour ordeal, the whole thing was done in under an hour! Thank you!

Disclosures

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.
