She really hears me, and remembers what I tell her and it surprises me every time. I know she has a lot of other patients and I wonder if she’s just that good or am I just her favorite patient? I tried another doctor since I no longer work downtown, but I realized that she’s worth the much more than the nuisance of driving downtown in order to receive care from her.

Felt very rushed, she only focuses on my weight when I go there. I’m not thin but definitely not obese. She makes me feel self conscious. Most of her questions revolve around my diet and exercise. When she came in she asked if the gown was too small on me. It makes me very upset and honestly ruined my day. People are so critical of themselves already, a doctor should be someone to trust. She has done similar things in the past, so I will not be seeing her anymore

Disclosures

Lekshmi T. Nair, 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.
