4.0 star star star star star_borderDr Kichko has been professional in talking and explaining about the medical condition of the patient and the plan of action and the reasons a certain procedure is done first versus doing the other. She made patients feel calm and comfortable about the procedure knowing the fact that most patients feel scared about the procedure and its results, and other stuff that involves. And she has a good personality especially in talking with patients.

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.
