I've seen Dr Katta several times, yesterday he injected me with a spinal block that was so painless that I wasn't aware that it was finished, and this morning he followed up by asking for details about how it went.

The process from point A to point B in my medical "journey" was not easy and felt redundant. However, the steps I had to take were clear. Despite my concerns due to past experience with similar plans from other physicians, I'm now moving forward with a diagnoses and a referral for my treatment options. I couldn't be more grateful for Dr. Katta and staff for all their help.

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.
