5.0 star star star star starDr. Bretschneider's professional manner was who I was looking for in an urogynecologist. She is knowledgeable and articulate about her specialty, but also kind and compassionate when assisting her patients.

5.0 star star star star starShe is an energetic, young, brilliant surgeon with incredible energy, a way of simplifying things through her very effective communications, and a wonderful bedside manner. She did ask if I was willing to have surgery at her main NW hospital instead of Prentice ,and I should have followed her lead. Her reasoning was that is the team she works with most regularly. I told her that I have had multiple great experiences in Chicago.

5.0 star star star star starShe is an outstanding, caring, skilled surgeon. Very patient, explains things clearly, presents alternatives and helps you get to what is right for you. I know others who have had these procedures elsewhere and it was like night & day. So much better with Dr Bretschneider. Would recommend her to everyone.

5.0 star star star star starWhen I was in a lot of pain the last 2 times, she suggested we use an OR and anesthesia which worked perfectly. Also, she was sensitive when I asked if the male intern/student could leave the room.

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.
