Dr. Ansari-Ali walks in the door ready for the appointment. Diagnosed with [diagnosis] at 30, I had a history file that was like a novel. I knew at the first appointment with her that she had read it. Instead of me going through my history, she asked me specific questions about it. At follow up appointments, I could tell that not only had she read the test results, but that she had been trying to figure out other possibilities for the cause of my [diagnosis]. She has a pleasant, friendly, matter-of-fact demeanor that is refreshing.

Shaiba Z. Ansari-Ali, 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.
