I love Dr. Hepperlen! She makes me feel very comfortable during appointments. During my appointment I had some concerns that were stressing me out. She sat with me and answered every question I had with real experiences which was much appreciated. She even researched extra information with me and gave me her opinion. At the end of my appointment I felt reassured.

Dr. Christine Hepperlen is wonderful! I used to see her when she worked with a different practice. I had to switch to this group of amazing women doctors because of insurance. To my surprise she started working with Northwestern. She even called me as soon as my breast MRI results came in( needing biopsy) she was covering for my doctor that ordered them since she was on vacation. She answered all my questions and concerns very thoroughly and compassionately. She even offered to call my number back so she could leave the number I needed to contact since I was at my son’s hockey practice. She has gone above and beyond. Northwestern is very lucky to have her in this practice! I’m excited to continue my care with her

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.
