Patient Experience Reviews
Excellent physician and staff
Great doctor and staff
Very good provider.
Always attentive and excellent care.
I have been a patient with Dr. B. Arafah for 39 years, and he is and always has been an exceptional medical professional. He has always looked at my care in a wholistic way.Gratefully, ***
Dr. Arafah and his team provide best in class customer service while delivering best in class medical advice. They execute on that advice through consistent communication with their client, me, and follow up communications with me. Dr. Arafah and his staff make complete use of my chart which is an easy way for me to communicate with staff and the doctor. *****
Dr Arafah is incredible as is his staff. He had ordered blood work (which I wrongly identified earlier in this survey) and carefully and clearly reviewed results. Trust him completely and value him and his team.
Very pleased with care.
The doctor and his staff were great.***
Always makes me feel I matter and that he cares
Dr Arafah is an outstanding physician, a man of great integrity.
Good
I'm fairly new to Dr Arafah. I feel very confident in his care. He's very nice.
Knowledge and treatment plan
Excellent care received by the Dr and staff
Dr. Arafah and his staff have provided exemplary care of me for a decade. I am grateful to have him as my Endocrinologist.
Dr. Arafah is is the kindest and most caring doctor I see at UH. He cares about you and is concerned about your total well being
Excellent experience with this doctor. I wish I had been sent this questionnaire about my ENT doctor who I saw a few weeks ago. He was fabulous and I would rate him 100% as well.
Dr Arafah is the finest, kindest, and most knowledgeable physician I have ever met. His attention to detail, manner, superb knowledge of his specialty and ability to see problems and solutions even outside his specialty make him unique.
Great provider and staff!
So far I am extremely happy with the care I have received.
Dr. Arafah answered my questions with kindness and expertise.
While my appointment was scheduled for 10:10 and I did not go back until 10:28 once back was seen quickly. I appreciate that the doctor took his time with me and was not rushed, and I would hope the same is true for all patients which I know may cause some delays. I would rather have a slightly longer wait time and a not rushed appointment than be taken back immediately and be rushed with my doctors. Overall this was a great visit with the doctor and I am grateful for his overall care and expertise!
Dr. Arafat is an expert in his field. He monitors my thyroid condition. I have referred people to him. I trust his judgement completely. He gives me helpful advice about medical issues.
Dr. Arafah and staff are always courteous and seem to care about me. I am thankful for that.
Dr. Arafah is wonderful very good provider
Very pleased with the visit, felt real progress was made regarding thyroid issue
He's an excellent doctor and I always understand what he's telling me.
I couldn't have been happier how the Doctor & Nurse helped me with my appointment.
The nurse was very kind to get me a cup of water. I was very nervous and my anxiety was heightened. She made me feel comfortable and the water was very needed. I found Dr. Arafah after seeing 3 other Endocrinologists at a different hospital network that were subpar. My first visit with Dr. Arafah I only had print outs of all my paperwork from my cancer diagnosis and my treatment. He spent a very long time reading though everything and asked questions no other provider had asked. He tested and triple checked things that were previously missed. He made me feel that my health was just as important to him as it was to me. Often times in my 7 years since diagnosis I have felt that only I was fighting for or even cared about my health. Thus visit wad just my annual check in but he still gives me his time and patience. It's nerve racking every year but I am so glad I get to check in with Dr. Arafah because I know he truly cares about me as a patient.
Visit went good. Dr. Is great answering questions and observing how I am. I like him.
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.
