Dr. Mathias was very impressive! She not only oozed knowledge, it showed how much she thoroughly enjoys the science and being the best at what she does. I only have sight in one eye, and in dealing with a gestational posterior polar cataract situation, she put my mind at ease, as she was very informative, and more than understanding about my stress of the situation. She extending the appointment until I felt like all of my questions had been answered, I left feeling like I was in the best hands possible.

Disclosures

Mary-Ann M. Mathias, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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.
