Amazing. She saved our daughter from additional unnecessary days of pain and infection. Dr. Downing accommodated all 7 sick walk-in patients (vs 4 allotted slots). My daughter ended up getting sent to Lurie Childrens ED, was admitted and had Emergency surgery.

Dr. Downey has helped my son with his development and growth since birth. He is now four years old. She's very kind and professional. I could tell she cares about her patients. At the same time, she has a very calm demeanor and makes us feel at ease. She is the best!

She is always thorough and doesn't rush her visits. She waits and makes sure we ask everything we need to before doing the exam. Our baby cried a lot today and she seemed completely unphased which was nice since that is a very anxiety inducing thing for me, hearing my baby cry.

Disclosures

Alexandra C. Downing, DO 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.
