5.0 star star star star starDoctor is knowledgeable, detailed, communicates effectively, it should not be an issue but urology for me is very private and being a male, female doctors make me nervous and uncomfortable in general. Dr. Watts Kristof made the experience comfortable to discuss the private topics. I will not hesitate to have the doctor conduct my surgery because I have confidence and trust in Dr. Watts Kristof

5.0 star star star star starDr. Kristof was incredibly engaging, personable, and knowledgeable. She shared her expertise so that I could make a decision on the path to take. She took time to explain things and to get to know me. I never ever felt rushed. I think one of the best things that blew me away was her ability to take her knowledge and experience, share it clearly with me, so that I fully understood my issue, and the necessary steps to eradicate the problem. She was very intelligent, pleasant and she had answers for all of my questions. Her staff was pleasant. The office seemed clean and easy to get to. I needed a great doctor and she was incredible. It's comforting when one can find a doctor that you trust . I did and she was a great comfort!

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.
