Dr Nielsen is wonderful. She’s thorough and pleasant. All three of my kids love coming to see her. She’s great at connecting with each of them. It never feels like we’re being rushed which is rare. I tend to leave other doctor appointments feeling like I didn’t have time to ask questions, let alone get answers. Dr Nielsen has helped trouble shoot a variety of issues over the years. Highly recommend her to friends.

Dr.Nielsen is the best doctor!! She makes my kids feel safe and we always feel welcomed. She was the first doctor out of 6 doctors that was able to help me find a solution to my son’s sickness. We have been with her ever since. She is knowledgeable and as a parent I trust her opinion to best advise me on my children’s health. Absolutely amazing to work with and definitely recommended family and friends to new beginnings pediatrics office.

Disclosures

Diane C. Nielsen, 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.
