Dr. Fish is awesome. She's always been transparent with everything she does, explaining what she's doing, going to do next and why. For folks with PTSD and others in general, this transparent and informative approach makes such a huge difference. It's easy to talk to Dr. Fish, as she fosters an environment of safety, calm, and non-judgement. She's respectful of time, too. Thank you, Dr. Fish!!!

Disclosures

Melissa M. Fish, 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.
