I absolutely love the cheerfulness and the amount of details that Dr. Carlsson-Thorne shares with me each visit. I feel so cared about and taken care of at each appointment with her. Carla is so awesome, too! I had to have a mole removed and she made certain that I had plenty pain block in the the area and Iâ€™m so happy to report that I did not feel a thing. I couldnâ€™t be more grateful and so glad that she was recommended to me, she is a gift and so is Carla!

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.
