1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderI never felt during the appointment she listened to my needs. She gave me the impression I was crazy and didn’t have these feelings. She convinced me that I am not depressed and I don’t have those feelings when I gave her examples that I do. She never made me feel listened to and made me feel as if I didn’t matter.

2.0 star star star_border star_border star_borderShe’s nice but didn’t do anything that I was expecting from a child wellness check up. Only listened to his chest . Didn’t do anything basically. Disappointed in how my sons appointment went.

1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderShe didn't know why I was there. She thought I had been in [ ] when, in fact it was [ ]. She yawned a couple of times during the appointment. She didn't appear at all engaged. She didn't listen to my concerns but seemed to have her own agenda.

1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderNot likely. After entering exam room she sat down with her laptop at the desk and did not get up once to examine my son. Only asked questions on symptoms about the visible rash, sore throat, on & off chills after sustaining tick bite & being prescribed previous with a prescription from a Dermatologist which might of been the reason of the allergic rash. She did not exam the. back of head where the tick was found, did not look closely at the area of rash. No blood draw test taken to rule out chance of Lyme disease?

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderI feel I was not being heard on my concerns that were brought up. I was given the basic spiel about eating healthier when I had stated I had been eating healthier and more active but continued to struggle.

4.0 star star star star star_borderThis is the first time seeing Dr. Chintam so I don't feel like I can give a thorough review. I do feel she was very professional, responded to questions I may have satisfactorily, and reviewed my health history with me for a clearer understanding. I will have no problem seeking Dr. Chintam for any health issues I may have in the future.

1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderDr. Chintam was very kind and friendly, but I was concerned that the only exam that was performed was an auscultation of my heart and lungs. My previous primary care would do a full EEN exam, palpate my throat (important with my hypothyroid), check reflexes, do a breast exam and an abdominal palpation. I asked Dr. Chintam about this (detailing everything above) when she said the exam was over, her response was "That's a lot, I would only do that if you had a concern." I'm a medical professional, so my view on annual exams are that they are meant to be preventative and find anything proactively before it becomes a problem. Again, the doctor was very kind but in my mind it is very concerning that there was no true exam performed.

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.
