Dr. King conducted a new patient neurology visit for my daughter with Dravet Syndrome. She gathered valuable information regarding her history in a very thoughtful, unhurried manner, giving as much time as was needed. As a result, the patient's dad and I feel confident to move forward with a comprehensive epilepsy plan that is highly likely to improve the quality of her life.

Dr. King is patient, attentive and empathetic; she has the ability to listen to every word you're saying and translate it back to you with science and evidence. When she doesn't know, she simply says so - these skills are LOST in today's climate. I would trust no one else.

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.
