5.0 star star star star starDr.Lawson has been tremendous help throughout my fertility journey. Since the time when I first meet her and was going through egg freeze to my fIrst IVF with donor and unfortunately loss of my second trimester pregnancy. She has helped me more than I will be ever able to thank her.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Lawson has provided me with an opportunity to engage in shared decision making around fertility treatment which is an opportunity I have not been afforded with my physician in the same clinic. Dr. Lawson takes an evidence-based approach to treatment across presenting problems (not just those related to fertility). As a scientist, she is also quite knowledgable about the literature around fertility, and it is helpful to have discussions around that literature that the physician doesn't have time for.

5.0 star star star star starShe is fantastic! I want to call her again after treatment just to chat and say hello. I feel very comfortable utilizing her as a resource if needed. She had clearly reviewed my file as well and was up to speed

5.0 star star star star starDr Lawson goes above and beyond for her patients, including adding a session on when needed outside of her template if there is an unavoidable gap in care otherwise. Her expertise as a research scientist, combined with her role as a psychologist enables her to provide very clear and objective data for her patients when making really critical life decisions. She has helped me look at life more objectively and with healthier decision making tools. Dr Lawson is one of a kind.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Lawson provided helpful information and shared her expertise and experience with warmth. Dr. Lawson made a comment giving us a secure feeling -- She would be available for another 18 years if we would need any help along the way if we go for it. We appreciated the meeting. Thank you.

5.0 star star star star starShes pleasant, sincere, sensitive and informative all in one. She makes you feel all the feels in a delicate caring way and thoroughly explains fertility treatments as it relates to your emotional state in a way that has you coming away from her feeling even more informed from the emotional side and always feeling better than when you walked into her office

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.
