5.0 star star star star starI feel very confident I am receiving the best care. I know several other Taglia patients - including those, like me, who've had things cut off - and all agree we are receiving the best possible care. Several now drive an hour- each way - to see Dr Taglia. (Yes, I'm in my 60's, but I don't talk about doctors ALL THE TIME...)

5.0 star star star star starSee above for comments regarding Dr Taglia's outstanding clinical care, her listening skills, effective communication of medical terms and recommendations, and empathy. If I should move out of the area, I would fly back as needed to keep Dr Taglia as my dermatologist.

5.0 star star star star starI had a very rare cancer that was not diagnosed by 3 other doctors over 10 years. They all said it was ecsema and they did biopsies. Dr Taglia knew at my first visit and the biopsy came back Micosis Funguides. I've been going to her since that day 5-1/2 years ago.

Disclosures
Lauren Taglia, MD, PhD 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.
