Inviting, engaging and full of knowledge, Dr. Williams was kind with a wonderful bedside manner. Also a special acknowledgement for the fellow Dr [last name] who initiated my visit. She was soft spoken but also kind and delightful.

Only one or two other times have I had such a great new patient visit with a physician. She had clearly read my medical history. She showed me images from my prior ultrasound exam and discussed the implications of those images. We talked about doing a FNA and the possible sequelae from the biopsy. Her explanations were clear. If you guys can ‘clone’ her, you should.

It just felt like she cared compared with some doctors that’s more doom and gloom attitude towards how they talk and treat the patients. Good bedside manners.

Dr. Rebecca Williams displayed comprehensive knowledge, communicated with nuance. She took a great deal of time pre-op and post-op to explain the surgery process, risks, probabilities, outcome and future possibilities. Never seemed hurried despite endless questions and concerns of mine.. Inspired confidence. Affable. I had a lobectomy. Surgery was successful. Consummate professional.

Disclosures

Rebecca L. Williams, MD, PhD 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.
