She is compassionate and caring. I recently had a D & C done and I normally have anxiety with any type of surgery. Like in tears until I am twilighted. I rolled into the OR in Grayslake. The atmosphere was one I have not experienced. Her and the staff made it so comfortable, they were so happy, made me laugh, had some music going. Even though it may have been just another surgery, I feel that her own vibe, creates positive energy with the staff. It honestly was the best experience I've ever had.

Disclosures

Kristin A. Dolling, 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.
