Dr. Mulcahy has been amazing from the start. She is very thorough and her diligemce is appreciated. Whenever I see her, she remembers me, my wife, and the details of my case- despite the fact that she probably sees hundreds of patients a week!

Excellent Patient care from the first call from Salina scheduling the appointment to Laura explaining our options and plan to follow up with us this week. Dr. Mulcahy took her time with us asking questions and explaining our options. She also stated she would be calling our current oncologist Dr [ ] to follow-up up with him. We felt heard and well cared for - although we are not entirely certain what we will do next, we feel confident they will assist us in making the best decision for care.

Disclosures

Mary F. Mulcahy, 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. 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.
