I can't explain how much Dr. Calcei means to my husband and myself. Dr. Calcei has the best bedside manner and smiles so big that you can see it through his mask and into his eyes and makes us feel so relaxed. He listens and is helpful and doesn't come in for 2 minutes and run out, treating his patients like cattle like most doctors do. Sitting, smiling, being human, listening, offering options and explaining things. Just wish we could see him as our PCP. Please make sure this doctor never leaves UH.

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.
