For all the reasons I stated above. She’s not rushed and is a good listener. She doesn’t constantly look at the computer screen and check boxes during her exam appointment. She looks at us in the face and asks questions and listens. She presents herself as a professional, but also a mom and is never a “know it all” kind of doctor. She isn’t pretentious and is lovely to be around. I trust her ideas completely and I feel like I am a parent/teammate in my children’s healthcare. I wouldn’t trade her to anyone else. I realize how much I like her, when we have to be seen by someone else. Great job Dr. Judy!

Dr Judy is so incredibly kind and caring. She always has the best advice and takes such care with our baby. She was the on call pediatrician at the hospital when I delivered and our little girl blessed us with an early arrival so we hadn’t yet chosen a pediatrician. There wasn’t even a question to continue seeing Dr Judy. Our little peanut just loves her! We never feel rushed at an appointment and we always leave feeling like all of our questions have been answered. As a first time mom this is huge! Dr Judy arms us with all the information we need!!

Disclosures

Karen R. Judy, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
