My previous doctor I had gone to for years became a concierge doctor and I was so upset. He was a great doctor and I didn't know where to begin to find a new doctor. Thankfully, my friend recommended Dr. Wood to me and I almost like her better than my previous doctor which says a lot! She is extremely thorough and patient. She will answer all my questions while in her office and be sure that I am comfortable before moving on. She doesn't miss a thing! When I have a question without an appointment, she is extremely responsive on mychart. If you need a new doctor, do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Wood. You will not be disappointed!

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.
