Patient Experience Reviews
Very good visit and was satisfied with my heart doctors result
Dr Akram was great. ***
My primary care physician provides needs for illness, etc., not my cardiologist. To many questions that are not definitive enough. No such thing as being perfect, only trying to reach perfection. I love the Geauga campus--easy to get to, great staff, and very competent physicians/specialists.
Excellent
My care was excellant
Dr. Elgendy and his staff are exceptional
Always a very positive experience when I visit the Geauga location
I really appreciated Dr. Algendy's whole ethos! I was very scared and he understood. He even let me hug him after the exam! What a great guy and great doctor!
The appointment went smoothly. Thank you.
It was a good experience
Overall very good experience.
Good first visit
Very, very impressed and grateful with the care and consideration shown me at Geneva Medical Center. This has been my first and only hospital experience in 72 years so I had no idea what to expect.
Excellent staff and Doctor
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.
