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.

I saw Dr. Geiger for an EMG ordered by my NP. I was treated with great respect by Dr. Geiger and the resident doctor. Due to results of the test Dr. Geiger fit me in for an office visit that day. He explained the results of the test clearly and ordered a blood test. This is the best I have ever been treated by the medical community. It would have taken months for me to be evaluated regarding the results and it was done that day. I'm confident he will determine the cause of my problem. I can't say enough about this physician. He shows genuine concerns for patients.

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.
