Dr. Talamayan is one of the best doctors I've ever encountered. I truly appreciate her wonderful bedside manner and her ability to genuinely listen to everything I was experiencing. She took the time to examine me thoroughly and did not allow me to leave feeling uncertain or hopeless she reassured me that things were going to get better. I also want to acknowledge her medical assistant, who was wonderful and made the experience even more comfortable. I appreciated Dr. Talamayan's warm smile and the positive, calming energy she brought into the room. Being in a doctor's office can be scary at times, but they completely took away that fear. Even after receiving my diagnosis, I felt far less afraid than I did when I first walked in, simply because of the care and attention they provided. Thank you for having such compassionate and understanding physicians and staff. I truly wish Dr. Talamayan could be my primary care provider, because compassion and understanding truly matter.

Dr. Talamayan was absoutely wonderful! My daughter was treated with such compassion and Dr. Talamayan was able to put her at ease while calming my motherly anxiety, as no parent wants to see their child unwell. We had a lot of questions, and Dr. Talamayan was very thorough and extremely knowledgable, as she also caught a secondary infection in my daughter. My daughter and I can not thank her enough for the amazing care Dr. Talamayan provided to my child.

Disclosures

Kathleen Talamayan, MD, MPH reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2025.

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.
