5.0 star star star star starThis was my first appointment with her since Carmen Murillo left the practice. I found her to be warm, compassionate, thorough and knowledgeable. Seamless transition of care. Wanted to understand my still-feels-new-to-me history with RA, asked in-depth questions about some of my recent symptoms and guidance on what to watch for. Appreciated her demeanor and felt heard.

5.0 star star star star starThroughout the appointment took the time to address my concerns, asked multitude of relevant and comprehensive questions. Provided me with options for treatment both in near term and in future. Took the time to examine my joints and go over the time lamps of my issue at hand. Thoughtful and caring practitioner

5.0 star star star star starShe was very thorough and kind as a fill in for Dr. Ruderman when my appointment with him was cancelled, but I will have to do all the leg work to refill my prescription before my next regular appointment.
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.
