5.0 star star star star starI have been a patient of Dr. Garretson's since 2011. She is absolutely unbelievable at helping me with all my issues. Some of her biggest assistances have been giving me shampoo that grew my hair back, giving me a new soap, giving me itch cream that actually works, resolving my athletes foot, and giving me excellent referrals. There has been no issue she has not eventually resolved. She is also a very compassionate, kind, and caring provider that treats me with dignity and respect.

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.
