Bc she took the time to look @ my history, properly assess my immediate needs, order important testing, prescribe the necessary medication; most important, she promised help me feel better. My former pulmonologist took none of the steps.

Dr. Schroedl completely sets the bar to a new level in caring for her patients. She is very thorough and explains everything so it is easily understandable. She takes her time and verifies you are understanding what you are being told. She is very kind, professional, and knowledgeable. She is also approachable with any questions or concerns you may have. If I could give her more than a 10 I would!!

From the moment Dr. Schroedl entered the exam room, she was very pleasant, personable, and respectful. She spent a good amount of time with me and never seemed rushed or eager to be finished. She explained everything carefully and answered all my questions completely. I felt she was very knowledgable and she made sure I was comfortable with all we had discussed before ending the session. I was very pleased with the visit, and would absolutely see her again if I needed a pulmonologist.

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.
