Dr. Barksdale has always been fantastic every time we have seen him in the office, and this telehealth visit was no different! He is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and is always so great with my daughter. We still felt like we were getting quality care even though we weren't there in person.

Dr Barksdale was meant to be a doctor especially for children, he's got a way of making sure the patient feel important, he connected with my child before getting into the medical piece of the appointment and I truly feel like it made my child feel more comfortable

I feel very lucky that my appointment happened to be scheduled with Dr. Barksdale! This was a high priority appointment for a possible surgical need due to infection, and not only was I able to be seen the very next morning, but it was with the Chief of Pediatric Surgery who was so knowledgeable and kind and he calmly explained everything. And my parents and I were so very appreciative of the time he took with us and his conservative approach to my issue. Thank you Dr. Barksdale!!!

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.
