5.0 star star star star starALL of my questions were answered. It was clear that the PA/MD team listened to all my history and concerns and spent as much time as it took to make sure I left the appointment feeling confident in my care.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Watts was really great! I appreciate her thoroughness and attention to all parts of my health history, even marginal things to my visit. She spent ample time with me (more than I am accustomed to spending in a doctor’s visit) and that is testament to her care for her patients. We were also aligned on minimizing my medications and optimizing my health which was a pleasant surprise! I definitely recommend her to anyone seeking treatment or support for allergies.

4.0 star star star star star_borderDr. Watts is professional, helpful, and was sensitive to my concerns during the visit. The only feedback I have is that she talks rather quickly, so she might not be a fit for people who are bothered by that.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderShe was on time and listened, which is a lot more than I can say for my prior experience in the office. She does go back to traditional approaches rather than thinking about alternative approaches, which are warranted as I have been suffering from the same symptoms for 15 years.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Watts is the only doctor so far who could put a name to what I have that has been mimicking allergic reactions to most medications and is being very thorough in checking out other possibilities. I finally have a life line that no other doctor to date has been able to provide me. Thank you very much Dr. Watts for all your help and wisdom, and caring attitude to my needs. I greatly appreciate all your help.

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.
