Tara was absolutely amazing! She showed empathy and was caring, she was the first person who said to me that my miscarriage was not my fault and I broke down. My wife and I truly loved our appointment and decided to switch from NorthShore (Endeavor) to Northwestern.

Every Pap smear I've had before seeing her was painful, which made me dread having them done and kept me from getting them as often as I should. I felt NOTHING this time. It made me question the skills of every provider I saw in the past.

She really did a great job! This was my first time going to her and she it me at ease. I was extremely comfortable. She told me exactly what she was doing before she did and she made sure that I was okay throughout the process. I will definitely be seeing her again!

Disclosures

Tara J. Dethmers, 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.
