First she entered the room stating the she is not taking in New patients. I explained to her that wasn't there requesting to be her patients. I explained to her that I was not able schedule an appointment with my doctor at the time. My ankle and foot was in pain. She told me I had to scheduled a follow-up with my Doctor. I thought that was very unprofessional being that she is a Doctor. I left with nothing on how to soothe the issue. Follow-up when she did nothing. I will follow-up in regards that this visit won't be charged to my Insurance.

Dr. Marks personally saved my sister-in-law's life. She completed a mammogram at Prentice with a clean reading. Less than a month later, Dr. Marks did an annual exam and found a lump that turned out to be, I believe, stage 4 breast cancer. Dr. Marks consistently follows procedures and meets all the standards of care to get to the bottom. She takes time to be human with her care.

Extreme difficulty in getting her to review an EKG from another department that she expressed concern about and wanted to review. Also, historically, when too many calls go in to Internal Medicine, the calls are answered by a call center and that rarely goes well. Gives new meaning to indifference and lack of training.

Disclosures

Kellyn R. Marks, 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.
