Karin B Ulstrup, MD

Dr. Ulstrup is a caring, competent physician. She listens carefully and with compassion. Separate from that, she is an excellent diagnostician who makes referrals to other competent specialties.
We are moving from Chicago, and my great fear is that I will not find another doctor like her. NWM is very fortunate to have her on faculty.

I truly can’t say enough nice things about Karin. I had some health problems that other doctors simply told me were stress induced. She referred to me amazing specialists and she’s truly caring. She’s, hands-​down, the best doctor I’ve ever been to.

After my doctor of 15 years moved out of state I was nervous about using a new doctor. After much research I decided on Dr. Ulstrup. I was not disappointed. She is not only thorough but she is compassionate. My first appointment with her was a follow up after an emergency room visit. First of all, she introduced herself as Karin, not Dr. Ulstrup. She asked great questions and actually listened to the answers. After hearing what a difficult year I was having she stopped what she was doing and said, «I’m really sorry you have been going through all of this.» It was very genuine. She is also good with following up. I was supposed to go the dermatologist and had gotten busy and forgot. Her office called to remind me to make the appointment. My husband has now made an appointment with her as well. I am thoroughly impressed with Dr. Ulstrup (I still prefer calling Dr.‘s «Dr.»).

If I could give Dr. Ulstrup 10 stars, I would! I have been seeing her since I moved to Chicago (about 2 years), and she has been amazing. I had a series of health problems which were tough to solve (albeit not serious — other than pain), and she ALWAYS made time to promptly see me and then referred me to amazing specialists. She was able to get me into some of the top doctors at Northwestern within a matter of days whereas it would have been a couple of month wait if I had gone the normal route. She is very sympathetic and thorough. A great combination of bedside manner and medicine!
