Experience was excellent. Dr. Ahmad was fully engaged with me, listened attentively, referenced my history, and showed me images to explain cause of pain and reason for his diagnosis. I am a new patient and was impressed with the concern, respeect, and compassion I was given. I am very happy to have been referred to Dr. Ahmad. Also on follow-up fo drain liquid from my knee, he worked me into his schedule which was much aappreciated.

This doctor made me feel horrible. Did not listen to a word I said. He was arrogent and cocky. He was rude about my follow up questions and cared very little fir the loved ones who came with me. I will never see him again.

Industry Relationships
University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
