Dr. Nelson is the rare physician that possesses the perfect blend of knowledge and "bedside manner" to use a days term. She is extremely intelligent and professional while also being kind and patient. She explains things in straightforward language and clearly cares about her patients. More than anything, she seems to always remember that sense of humanity that many doctors never tap into. It can be hard to be a patient, and it feels like she realizes that. I feel lucky to be in her care.

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.
