She is very smart and caring. She develops a wonderful repoire with her clients from the start.

I won the physical therapist lottery when I was teamed up with Michaella (Mickie)! She shares her knowledge and experience willingly. She's encouraging and challenging and pushes just the right amount so I can maximize my results. She answers all my questions and helps me make a plan for my home exercises to compliment those that I perform at NM.

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.
