I just recommended her to somebody this morning. She looks at all the angles of what would be the best fit for my comfort and her recommendations to fix my injury instead of rushing into surgery which I want as a last resort.

She was so friendly, had a great Vibe and good energy. She made me feel so comfortable in a medical setting. She asked me questions about my that pertain to my injury and activity level. She explained what we'll try first before shots and before surgery if needed. That is exactly what I want. I am more homeopathic. I don't want to be immediately shot up with drugs or surgery. She absolutely understood that and explained what we can try first. I was so happy with her she was fun.

Disclosures

Karla E. Stewart, PA-C 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.
