The dr took the time to do a thorough exam. She answered my questions and provided explanations. The assistant was great too. I appreciated that the "team" looked into my fear of having some strange and painful issues with my scalp. For as stupid as it may have seemed, my request for "a closer look" was heard. I think the dr and staff did everything they could to address and treat the symptoms that were relevant to their practice area.

Disclosures

Kimberly A. Bauer, MD 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.
