I’ve never sat with an OB doctor for so long! I appreciated her individualized attention. She had a lot of information. However, she might have spent a little too much time talking about the risks of pregnancy/genetic abnormalities for my age (39). She said she likes patients to know their options regarding stats and genetic testing etc, but I found myself way more worried walking out of that office than I ever have in an appointment.

Dr. Elborno immediately addressed the concerns I had around the nausea and worked to help come up with something new to try. Even an alternative if that didn’t work. She took the time to explain and risks and suggested the best ways to avoid that and still address the problem effectively. I also appreciated her timeliness. She was incredibly friendly and helpful. Her nurse, I believe her name was Maria? Was exceptional as well. Both were very kind.

Disclosures

Dana Elborno, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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.
