This was my first time seeing Dr. Dunning; she was very thorough and had a great bedside manner. She talked to me about my weight in a very body positive, helpful way that didn't make me feel at all bad. I left the appointment feeling very well cared for and supported. She also brought up a vaccine I was overdue for that a previous doctor hadn't ever inquired about.

I was looking to find a new primary care doctor relationship, but was not met with that at all. There was very little time spent talking about what I was needing outside of the medical test results I have previously had. I was referred to other people and told that Dr Dunning could not really help me and she was sorry for that. I am not looking for a doctor that can cure my ailments but someone I can talk to about ways I can move forward and feel better and that was not the case.

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.
