She was very through and explained everything completely. She included me on the decision making of my care, treatment and what my diagnosis was. She explained well what I can expect moving forward and how my choice of treatments will affect me moving forward. The pros and cons were well explained by her.

I met with Christa yesterday. I've would've thought she was a board-certified neurologist. She most certainly struck me as being as knowledgeable as one AND most importantly, she was able to explain the very complex matters of deep brain stimulation and focused ultrasound to me in terms that I was to understand. This is saying something! She is an asset to the NM Neurology Department and I am grateful to be working with her.

Dr Cooper was taking care of my husband for 9 years at Rush and one day she just disappeared.It was very difficult do get advice ( over computer) from new doctor, who was supposed to take care of [Patient's Name]. Finally after 16 days I got an answer, so I decided it is time to look for Dr Cooper and I am glad I found her!

Disclosures

Christa S. Cooper, PA-C, PhD 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.
