I’ve been to two other dermatologists since Dr. Swary left down town and moved her office to Evanston. I was very unhappy with both. Living in the City, I thought I needed to continue care in the City. I was wrong and felt it necessary to travel to Evanston to see Dr. Swary. It was very much worth the drive!

My appointment time was respected and I had barely a 5 minute wait in the waiting room. The receptionists and nurses were all friendly and kind. This was my first time seeing Dr. Swary, as Dr. [ ] was unavailable. I thought Dr. Swary was wonderful. Smart, kind and thorough. I would recommend Northwestern Dermatology to anyone looking for care in a compassionate, competent and efficient environment.

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.
