She has an “efficient” bedside manner, quick to diagnose and treat. She is always on time and appointments are quick. At my first appointment when she diagnosed my problem, I wish she took a little more time to explain my condition and prognosis. At follow up appointments however, she has taken more time with me in terms of counseling and guidance.

I was told by a teledoc practitioner to follow up with a dermatologist. The dermatologist said I actually need an allergist. This would be fine except that the doctor was impatient and seemed irritated with me. I prefer more warmth in my medical providers and was not comfortable with my experience. I’m sure Dr Swary is an excellent doctor and she has great reviews - but I would seek an alternate provider next time I need a dermatologist.

Disclosures

Jillian Havey Swary, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
