I can tell Dr. Jacinthe V. Malalis is passionate about her job and the patients she treats. She practices the patients first motto giving them the time to ask questions regarding their concerns and treatment, she gives honest and educated feedback making sure the patient is comfortable with their treatment plan and resources they may need and she wants what is best for her patients and their care. Health care is changing and I believe she is a Physician who will stand by her patients and continue to give them the proper treat and care they deserve. She is busy but you don’t feel like you are rushed an assembly line of patients. She sits down with you and looks you in the eyes (not behind a computer). She listens to you and talks with you through your reason for your visit. She treats you like a human being and that in that moment you are what matters and with no distractions. She keeps you involved in the decisions regarding your treatment and explains things very well. Thank you for your wonderful care Dr. Malalis I know days can be long and “not what you went to college for” but what you do truly makes a difference in peoples lives and I can tell this is your purpose. Thank you for making a difference.

Disclosures

Jacinthe V. Malalis, DO 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.
