5.0 star star star star starDr Rigolin is a standout physician. She knows the latest research, is an excellent listener and explains everything you need to know clearly and thoroughly. She is a great communicator with great "bedside" manner. She shares my hopes to use all the tools available for a long, healthy life. She has great nurses, too, that are fast in replying to any questions. AND she is punctual with her appointments!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Vera Rigolin was highly recommended to me by several of my friends and I agree with their assessment. Even though I did not come to my appointment with my questions written down (I have lately been very busy), Dr. Rigolin gave me detailed explanations of the issues I raised and did not make me feel as if my lack of organization was a problem for her or that I was questioning her professional judgement. I am grateful to have found a cardiologist who can help me understand how to navigate a new and potentially stress experience.

5.0 star star star star starI chose Dr Rigolin from a referral I had from my previous heart care team. The first impression I had was that she was caring and genuine. Her expertise in valve heart issues is exactly what I needed. She has a way with making you feel better when you need it the most. I wouldn't choose anyone else with my care. Thanks NM

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.
