The obvious reason is because of how great a doctor she has been to my family but the other reason is she cares to take the time to discuss the treatment plans and make you feel a part of the solution. Dr Hephner is not always going to tell you what you want to hear but she will not ever make you feel pressured into something either. She will make the tough choices to keep you safe and healthy but she will make them with you not just for you. I trust not only my life with her but my wife’s life and kids as well. Thank you again!

Disclosures

Michelle M. Hephner, DO reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2023.

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.
