5.0 star star star star starDr. Schmidt and her team of associates are professionals who demonstrate care and compassion. Technician Andra C. was very thorough in conducting the eye exam portion of my visit and has a wonderful demeanor and sense of humor. Dr. Schmidt is truly an exceptional ophthalmologist and cares for her patients in a remarkable manner.

5.0 star star star star starHighly recommendDr. Schmidt. She is very thorough. She has been my primary care eye doctor for, I believe, over 9 years now. And i have never wanted to switch to another primary eye doctor. I came to her as a result of having a suspicion of glaucoma.

5.0 star star star star starExplained each part of process, findings and probable implications. I particularly liked that they verbally stated findings without being asked, not just document in notes. Recommendations personalized to my exam and status, not so generalized as to be useless.

Disclosures
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.
