See above comments. Melissa covers all topics efficiently. She also reviews what medications I am taking and still need to have her refill or delete any I don't need. I believe I'm ready to see her in 6 months at this point, but know that if I need to meet with her sooner, that I could set up an appointment or contact her. I am so thankful for all her help and guidance.

I listed reasons above. She is excellent. She has allowed extra Buspar in case I need to take more when I'm feeling overwhelmed or anxious when I least expect to feel this way. It is a relief to know I have this option.

Disclosures

Melissa A. Kreiter, APRN 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.
