Dr Heo, is beyond amazing and personable. She makes everyone around her feel so comfortable. As you can imagine Gyno appointments are not the most comfortable, but she makes me forget I am in a gynecology appointment. Her level of care is endless. She truly cares for her patients. I have been following her around for years and I will go wherever she goes. Dr. Heo truly deserves recognition, she is one of a kind when it comes to the care she gives to her patients!

She was rude and not professional. I also have doctor degree myself and was extremely disappointed how she handled my request to provide evidence base science literature from what she was recommending. They literary try to run every test in a book to milk your from your insurance that’s is not related to your pregnancy. I’m not sick I’m pregnant. I politely declined some of her recommendations, the lady told me she doesn’t want to argue with me , all I was asking is for science evidence literature. Which is her job to do so as you guys claim you practice evidence base science, you better have it to give to clients that ask for it!!!!!She has no emotion intelligence and doesn’t have interpersonal skills. Not to mention bad vibe definitely not for pregnant women to deal with. I did feel disrespected as a healthcare professional my self. I can only imagine how she treat other women that doesn’t have science background

Disclosures

Lucy Heo, DO 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.
