She is awesome!!! The results of my surgery solved my medical condition very quickly. The operation was painless and the results are incredible. I have been recovering for a week and a half and the bruising is almost gone. The sutures are almost gone. And, I can finally dispense with the Kleenex. My conditions are gone....no more tears running down my face and a runny nose. It is such a relief!!!! I spent several years trying to solve this problem with your doctors. She and Dr. Baqui did the solving. Dr. Baqui sent me to Dr. Thyparampil and everything happened very quickly.

Disclosures

Preeti J. Thyparampil, 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.
