I trust her. I feel she is providing me excellent care because she is not ignoring my lymphedema. I have doctors' notes from many different recording for at least two years that I have swelling in my legs, particularly the right foot and ankle. Other providers including my former PCP did nothing to improve my condition; in fact it got worse. She listened to me and I am getting the proper treatment now. She and her staff treat me and my concerns. I feel like I am getting my questions answered and being treated with respect. I also trust her because she was my husband's doctor for some time before he died and I never had any doubt that he was receiving excellent care.

Chisalu T. Nchekwube, 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.
