5.0 star star star star starI would recommend her because I feel like a real person again (not a way most drs make me feel). I get to have unique and not so unique issues and I'm heard and helped, instead of dismissed. She uses Every ability at her disposal to help me Every time.

5.0 star star star star starI could write a whole dissertation about how incredible Dr. Bengtsson is. From the moment I started physical therapy with her back in April 2021, she was never short of kind, approachable, compassionate, and gentle. She easily changed a large and important part of my life for the better. I loved learning from her. It is evident she easily connects with her patients, which is so important. She is 100% worth the almost 3 hour drive to and from my house. I’m forever grateful for her skill and influence in my life. She is a treasure at this hospital without a doubt.

5.0 star star star star starShe is kind and gentle and compassionate, talks about everything she's doing, asks for consent (clearly understands how this therapy is different) for everything she does and most of all, instills confidence the therapy will work.
Disclosures
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.
