Shelly has been our PCP for years now..our grown son goes to her, as well for care, as well. When my husband had abdominal pain 6 years ago, we were referred to Shelly..after some tests, that same day, Shelly called us at 10pm that very night to tell us that they found a mass in his colon He went in for surgery at at 9am the next morning..What was a terrifing situation for us was so much easier, as we felt Shelly really put the "machinery"" in motion so quickly, that we just did as we were told, and fortunately it all turned out well.. We really appreciate her, and she is so easy to talk to. Kudos to Shelly!

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.
