Patient Experience Reviews
UH Seidman Cancer Center far exceeded my expectations with my treatment for *** cancer. Dr. Dowlati and his staff are experts in their profession and still show compassion whenever I see them. My cancer is not curable, but I feel a measure of comfort as they lead me on this journey. I have finished chemotherapy and am now in a type of remission thanks to the the knowledge and guidance of Dr. Dowlati and all of the staff at the center who took part in my care.
Dr. Dowlati is one of the Kindest Drs. In years that I have meet. He explained things to me that I could understand & has a backup plan just in case. The PEOPLE ALL OF THEM work in tandem & also are Kind & Understanding. You get a sense of easy with having CANCER that is scary enough but everyone put me at easy. So Helpful since I'm so Scared. Its the complete turnkey of what to do & where to go! Thanks for being YOU ALL!
Good
I would actually be dead were it not for Dr Dowlati's care and expertise. He and the rest of my care team routinely exceed expectations.
Provider is professional and straightforward
Great service
I felt very informed of future plans concerning my medical condition.
This provider is an oncologist who is treating me for cancer. I trust him completely and couldn't ask for a better doctor. This appointment was to follow up on some scan and blood test results, and nothing changed with the treatment.
Over all it was good
Good
Dr. Dowlati is an amazing doctor. He listens carefully and addresses my concerns. He is soft spoken, kind and seems to care deeply about my health care. I have recommended him to my friends and they are also very impressed with him. I'm so glad he's my oncologist!
Totally trust him
I was pretty frightened by my diagnosis of cancer. Dr explained everything to me (in the way of treatment and general outcome) and put me more at ease with what I will face in the future.
Good
I'm new to UH. I feel very good about the services I'm receiving from this organization!

I am very grateful for this provider
He is always pleasant and willing to listen.
Very pleased with UH healthcare team. Could not be better!
A good experience. Dr. Dawlatti is always professional and caring
I am seeing this provider for metastatic cancer treatment. He has been very good about explaining options to me and when he can, he gives me a choice of which direction to go, after explaining the benefits and risks. He's helping me a lot.
The best
Excellent care and follow up for my Cancer and lung breathing problems.
Very good
I appreciate Dr Dowlati's patience with me while I blabbered on during this appointment.
All good
Excellent provider, staff.
Excellent doctor with immense expertise in his complicated field, coupled with a comforting style with the patient that has helped the patient both physically and mentally.
Dr Dowlati & his staff are excellent. I owe him my life! Would highly recommend!!!
I feel like initial plan of care was developed but never really talked to Dr about other options, long term prognosis
I am very happy with my medical team at U.H.
I'm thankful for Dr Dowlati because I'm still alive! Also, he has good ideas about what's going on with me health-wise outside of my cancer diagnosis. That helps me with achieving a better quality of life.

Keeping up on the latest medical research can be a benefit, but the sheer amount of information – and the sometimes contradictory results – can be wearying.
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.
