My first visit with Dr Geiger. I found him very nice, personable and thorough.
Dr. Geiger really cares for his patients. The staff from the first phone call to the results of the MRI were extremely kind and compassionate. Everyone that we came in contact with were exceptional employees that went above and beyond!
Dr. Geiger and everyone at his office provided wonderful, thoughtful, care. I am grateful to have been referred to him.
Dr. Geiger answered all the questions I had which hadn't been answered by previous visits to other providers.
Great experience. Both Dr. Geiger and Dr. *** were very thorough with their examinations and following explanations of my issues and what the plan would be to try and remedy them. They patiently answered all of our questions as well.
Dr. Geiger is an excellent neurologist and relates well on both a medical and human level. I have lived with a difficult diagnosis for two years and he assured me he would be there for me should more critical Issues arise. It Is wonderful to know that that level of expertise will be available if needed. We may differ on risk vs.benefit with certain options but he is a good listener and that is appreciated.
Dr.Geiger has been extremely helpful in finding answers to my symptoms of chronic illness. He has been compassionate and helps patients overcome barriers to accessing care. I greatly appreciate that!
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.
