Nearly 6 years ago when I was in my late 30s, I saw Dr. Venuti for the first time. And she was the first doctor to have an honest yet disarming conversation with me about family planning as I was getting older. She spoke to me like I was a friend, with empathy and encouragement and without judgment_ asking guiding questions and suggesting options to preserve my fertility. Because of her, I decided to freeze my eggs_ and now, 6 years later, I have a baby girl who came from one of those frozen eggs! It's crazy to think that if not for Dr. Venuti's approach to patient care, I may not have this sweet baby girl who has changed my world in the best way imaginable. I've continued to see Dr. Venuti over the years and she is truly the best OBGYN. She is highly attentive and is well-prepared for every appointment. She is incredibly kind and relatable, which makes the dreaded "annual exam" much more tolerable. And she has an innate ability to take concerns seriously while putting those concerns at ease. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Venuti_ I would recommend her to anyone.

Disclosures

Kristen R. Venuti, MD 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.
