I have already recommended her. I just donâ€™t like that I canâ€™t get through to her when I have a question. This last issue with my daughter was particularly frustrating. Overall though I donâ€™t care for the system or the way they donâ€™t allow you to communicate with the office directly, I do really like Dr Knapik. Sheâ€™s the only reason I still take my children to NM.

Have had a relationship with the same doctor for 22 years since our first born was [age] old. Have always received great care and concern for our childrenâ€™s health. The doctor really knows our kids and is like a trusted family member. If an issue arises that is beyond her scope of treatment, she has always referred us in the right direction to address it. She has a great bedside manner and talks directly to her patients, yet addresses the parent as well, leaving everyone reassured.

Helpful but made a comment when we asked about my [age] olds throat possible being sore and she asked if we wanted her to â€œgagâ€ him to check and proceed to grad a tongue depressor before we told her it was ok and not necessary. As a new mother it made me very uncomfortable as I was just asking the doctors opinion.

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.
