Emma my RN was very thorough and took the time to fully explain all components of my NM visit. Pam at the front desk made the effort to leave the front desk, without prompting, to discuss with Dr Pipitone why my appointment was delayed and how much longer my wait would be before being seen by the MD. THE FRONT DESK MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE! They are the first to greet us and the last to wish us well. Thank You Pam.

Disclosures

Michelle A. Pipitone, 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.
