Dr golonka is the best! He is polite, personable, takes his time and explains things in a way I can understand. He really makes me feel like I am doing a good job as a mom. My son and daughter both see him and I have nothing but good things to say. He is genuine and relatable. He never makes me feel like my questions are unwarranted or silly. He cares about my children and their well being. I would recommend him to anyone who asked! Great dr all around.

Choosing Dr. Golonka as our pediatrician about 10 years ago was the best decision we made! Not only is he a great doctor, he relates well with both the kids and the parents. My son had 2 emergencies this year, both of which he was hospitalized for. Dr. Golonka called us both times to express his concern and let us know he was here for our family. Class act!

He is always kind and understanding. He always takes the time to make sure your questions are answered and concerns are addressed. He was my doctor when I was a kid, and I am so glad he is now my daughters doctor. His care for his patients has been the same for over 20 years, and always asks how my siblings are doing.

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.
