5.0 star star star star starDr.Ward reviews your patient history and explains any questions you have before she introduces the new procedures she will follow that day. She furnishes additional materials from links or prints out the information for you to take with you. She has an upbeat personality and relates very well to the patient. She is very clear in what she intends to do but will listen to the patient too to get their input as well. I opted for her to remove a growth rather than have it removed by freezing it with nitrogen gas, She has a very light touch with her surgical tools, and I barely felt the removal.
Disclosures

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.
