Clare(APRN) is smart, on point, and confidence building. I was worried and skeptical of the covid interactions, but Clare's assessment put my mind at ease. I am lucky to have a great advocate helping me!

I was late for my appointment and had a toddler with me (had no child care at the last minute) and Clare still saw me. This was a first time appointment with her. She was friendly, professional and thorough and I felt well cared for.

Nurse Practitioner Clare is fantastic. She listens and has excellent feedback and assessments. Ditto for Brittany who started my visit with questions and an ekg. After a really helpful visit, Brianna knocked it out of the park helping me schedule visits for ekg, follow-up with Clare, visit with Dr [ ], and highlighted in yellow all y of my todoâ€™s and numbers for me to call for tests. I team made me feel confident and reduced my stress. Thank you!!!

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.
