Joyce Smith was extremely professional, knowledgeable, caring, and thorough. She took the time to listen to my concerns and symptoms, provided a thorough exam, and a clear plan for me. I would also like to mention Cami, who is a nurse in Dr. [ ] office and with whom I spoke over the phone a few days before this appointment. Cami was also very caring and professional and I appreciated her follow through based on my questions and concerns. I’m so impressed with the care provided by the Pulmonology team.

Joyce is such a positive spirit and I enjoyed the visit. Because I work the night shift I have issues of falling asleep when I get home and sit down in a chair then sleep 3-4 hours without the CPap. Joyce was able to make suggestions so I use the CPap more during that time. We also discussed several CPap products and the pro and cons of each which will help me in my decision making for future purchases if I go with the product. Very very positive visit. Thanks Joyce

Disclosures

Joyce L. Smith, APRN 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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
