Dr Salus provides EXCELLENT care she intently listens then gives detailed information about all of the options available. She goes above and beyond by offering outside resources with personal recommendations. I very much appreciate her swift responses to messages in the NM app. When leaving her office, I feel much more knowledgeable about my health. It is extremely obvious that she truly cares about her patients and that her work is her passion. If I ever move out of state, I will travel back for her to always be my OB/GYN.

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.
