Given Dr Dowlati's high energy but calm presence, I never leave an appointment feeling low. His guidance in my treatment is assuring to me. I'm super fortunate that he's been my oncologist for years with a diagnosis that was frightening at the beginning.
Dr. Dowlati is the best oncologist I have ever seen. He explains the situation well and the options that are being considered. He always asks if I have any questions. His team is also very professional, caring and thoughtful.
I'm relieved to have an oncologist like Dr Dowlati on my side to help find a path forward.
Excellent doctor & staff!!!!
The doctor was exceptionally empathetic, kind and knowledgeable. He took great care in explaining everything. Answered all of our questions. I can understand why we had to wait. It was worth it. He gave us his business office card and advised to call that number immediately if I took a turn for the worse and they would get me in within a day or two. As it appears the chemo is working he did not want to stop something work. This visit was a referral appointment from my current oncologist.
Good care
Dr Dowlati is overly skilled in the nuances of treating cancer and I'm thankful for it.

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.
