5.0 star star star star starAfter my first meeting with Dr Smith, I felt assured that my decision to move my treatment to Northwestern was the right one. During the meeting I became aware Dr Smith was well accomplished in a number of specialties ie treatments for Stage IV Cancer. She impressed upon me a commitment to use those specialties to help me through this phase of my life. I am so grateful.

5.0 star star star star starI am very comfortable with her. I didn't think I would want to discuss anything, but my calls are refreshing and Dr. Smith is great with feedback and just listening. I walk away rejuvenated until the next call.

Disclosures
Melanie M. Smith, MD 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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
