She was great, listened to my long story and kept engaged and open minded. Glad I was recommended to her so I have a good local GI I feel comfortable with since I fired my last one for gross negligence and was only left with my one downtown at UofC who originally was my backup but had to make my primary after realizing my last one was not good but kept on my team as they were local. Having only the one downtown after firing my last local GI is inconvenient being so far away and they will end up becoming my backup again and Dr Shamsi my primary in due time.

Disclosures

Nabiha S. Shamsi, MD 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.
