She is excellent and personable. I am an RN and she is more knowledgeable than a lot of Physicians. She gave me a Duoneb treatment and never had before in my life. Tested my Peak Flow and never had that done before either. I am new to Pulmonary issues over the last 2 years but this was the most thorough work up and intervention I ever received.

I really couldn't have asked for better care from her. She was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. I felt I was being well cared for by a competent healthcare provider and did not feel rushed. With care like this, one will definitely not shy away from going into urgent care.

Disclosures

April Kay Refendor, APRN reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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.
