Besides Dr. [ ], Dr. Vassallo is hands down the BEST doctor I have experienced at NW, so far. If only she could be cloned throughout your gazillion different specialist units. TOO many specialist referrals, expensive/complex tests, and not enough team effort and answers. (I refer particularly to the mess of my husband's 'healthcare' provided by NW.)

Disclosures

Patricia Vassallo, 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.
