My initial appointment in person was cancelled due to a personal issue from the doctor. The appointment was then scheduled for 5pm the same day but as a telehealth visit. I spoke with the doctor for 15 minutes, however I did not feel as if the doctor knew my file well nor did the doctor have the chance to review my physical appearance. Examination was done via video conference but i’m not sure what the level of detail was able to be determined. The doctor asked for me to return in 3 months which is not something that has occurred since my initial diagnosis 6 years ago. Overall I was less than pleased with the experience of this appointment.

So far, she has ben kind and understanding. It's difficult to get responses over messaging, but despite the bad news, I'm happy to--after going on four years, finally have a diagnosis to work with and a treatment to try. That means the world to me after, one by one, all of my previous doctors gave up.

Disclosures

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.
