Everyone there was super kind and welcoming! I was only in the waiting room for about 5 minutes tops and after the nurse did her intake, the doctor came right in. Dr Jennifer is super kind and caring and she really cares about your quality of life. My appointment was a little over an hour long and most of that time was spent in the room with her. Since I was a new patient, she took the time to go over my history and symptoms in detail. She listened when I talked and asked lots of questions. Unfortunately she cannot treat my illness. I was very sad that she can’t be over my care because I felt very comfortable with her. Great doctor who actually cares about the person and sees them as who they are and not just another name in a file.

Disclosures

Jennifer R. Velasco, DO 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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
