Dr Nielsen is very thorough - not rushed - explains things well for tweens and teens speaks to them and engages and explains for their responsibility and learning. We drove 45 mins each way to the practice - and for her advice and expertise - often times rather than immediate Care as trust her opinions and treatment advice.

I only had an appointment for my diabetes but since my son was sick too, she took the time to see my son in addition to my daughter while they were both sick. I didn’t mind paying for two appointments and I’m so thankful she took the extra time. She is always so amazing and through and patient.

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.
