Absolutely, Dr. Hijaz is very aware of my condition. Everything I reported, he related it to improvement and he shed some light on the ongoing condition. I continue to feel very lucky that Dr. Hijaz was taking patients when I needed to see a urologist. This condition could be difficult to explain but I have always felt comfortable to be very honest In reporting real situations that I have. I feel he has given me Information and I feel terrific that he accepted the Information I gave him. He did not talk down to me. He respected me completely, ***

The dr was great and very informative as to what I needed to have done. The receptionist was very rude made everyone wait while she wasn't doing anything. Not friendly at all and talked so quiet she was hard to understand.

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.
