5.0 star star star star starDr Twaddle is a wealth of knowledge and explains everything in detail, so you understand what is going on with you. I appreciate her always being so caring and understanding. From the first time I saw her and on up to present day, she made feel so comfortable talking to her because she truly does care. I’d recommend her 100% to everyone I know.

5.0 star star star star starWe moved to Illinois from [ ] to be closer to family as my husband, [ ], is in the later stages of FTD. Dr. Twaddle was recommended to us by our physician in [ ]. I have never had such a wonderful experience with a doctor. Dr. Martha takes her time to support and guide us during this very difficult time. Being brand new to the Northwestern system, I’m beyond impressed with our first physician.

5.0 star star star star starDoctors like Dr. Twaddle are a diamond in the rough. She is filled with compassion, understanding, and knowledge. She has made the most terrifying, life changing illness somehow seem manageable. To say she is a great listener would be an understatement. She never makes you feel rushed and always sits and takes as much time as you need to talk about any questions or thoughts you have. I feel blessed to have her overseeing my care.

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.
