She listened, then did an assessment of my sinuses talking me through it. Very professional yet relatable. She worked out a plan for me, but telling me all along if I need anything before the next appointment just call.

Marisa was outstanding. Not only was she caring and personable but, she was a fountain of information. She even went as far as ensuring her answers were understood by translating medical jargon into digestible information for me as the patient. I was extremely pleased and blown away by her patience and care. I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends.

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.
