There are no words to describe how grateful we are for having Dr. Hardy as my surgeon. She was exceptional from start to finish and made us feel comfortable and confident that we were in great hands. Like the rest of the NM team, she was kind, caring, patient, and thorough. My family and I are so thankful and feel blessed to have been under the care of such a remarkable surgeon!

A 10 is not high enough score for Dr. Hardy. She explains everything and answers every question. Her surgery skills and bed side manner are the best you have. NM is the top of hospitals because of doctor like 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. 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.
