5.0 star star star star starI believe she is one of the best dermatologists in Chicago. Unfortunately, when I have referred others to her, the waiting list for appointments at 6+ months often deters them from becoming patients.

5.0 star star star star starMy appointment with Dr. Ward was my first visit. Based on this experience, Dr. Ward lives up to her excellent reviews by her other patients. I received a very thorough exam in a comfortable and professional atmosphere that reduced my stress and fears. Dr. Ward is an excellent communicator explaining the process and steps involved in my exam before hand, offering options and sharing her findings. I left my appointment feeling really lucky to have selected Dr. Ward as my dermatologist.

5.0 star star star star starIt’s been 10 years since my last appointment. I was greeted with genuine warmth and it was clear Dr. Ward spent some time to review my last visit history. She was quick to put me at ease with moles that I may have thought were quest. She also took the time to make thoughtful suggestions for skin care management. Love her and would highly recommend!

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.
