She is the absolute sweetest. She genuinely cares about her patients and their well being, she’s also such a great listener and offers great solutions. I feel so heard and safe when I’m speaking with her about the reason of my visit. I am very happy to say I will be returning and continue my treatment with her. She is the absolute best! I love that woman.

NP Holly Watson-Evans took the time to get to know me, my concerns, and my history. She laid out in detail the different roads we could go on and told me what she preferred. She put in a plan for me to provide feedback as we go down this new road. Best experience I have had with a Psychiatrist.

Dr. Holly as I fondly call her, is the perfect combination of knowledge and compassion. She definitely encourages my input regarding my goals, which I appreciate. I’m being guided, but, with the inclusion of my thoughts & feelings. People have a sense for someone who truly cares and I get that feeling from her.

I came to see her when I was feeling the most in need of having someone who understood and listened to what I was going through. Unfortunately, my last doctor, who I liked, just kept giving me medication to numb my emotional pain and not work through it with the right balance of medication and therapy which is what “Dr. Holly” is doing.

Disclosures

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.
