Sara listened to my concerns and had many follow-up questions. Not only did she make me feel comfortable, but she also made me feel heard. She came up with a treatment plan that includes medication and physical therapy. If this treatment plan does not work, she explained there were more options and she would be readily available to further treat.

Sara what's great. She allowed us plenty of time to ask questions and find out anything we felt we didn't know. She didn't make us feel rushed or that she had a bunch of other patients waiting after us. She was very informative, patient, unable to explain things in a way that was easy for us to understand.

Sara simply listens to the patient. She explains what's going on and asks for questions. You certainly don't feel rushed with her and she includes you in the care plan. She makes things seem positive, and gives you hope, even tho the patient is in pain.

Sara is a gem, a wonderful caregiver, and incredibly available. She knows the system, the issues, and immediately takes any issue and fixes it. She sees me and my family as individuals, she acknowledges our issues, fears, and needs, and she gives her time graciously. If there were a higher rating, I would give it. :-)

Disclosures

Sara A. Schussler, 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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
