Dr. Schnitzler listens to my concerns and questions in a caring and concerned manner. I appreciate the conversations we have and the thorough explanations/suggestions she provides. When my former primary physician retired I was worried about finding someone who would provide the same excellent care that he did for many years. I am so happy to have found Dr. Schnitzler. I feel the same sense of trust in the care she provides.

Disclosures

Allison M. Schnitzler, 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.
