My provider (Dr.S Alan Hoffer) was friendly, cordial, and receptive during my visit. He and his team made sure that I was comfortable all the way through the appointment. He got me immediately into X-Ray and walked me through what I would need to do for other appointments/tests. While my visit was admittedly rushed and 'quick-worded', It was a very busy day when I came, so I'm not holding anything against the medical staff.

Every one was very kind and concerned about me. I liked that when I was in the surgery room everyone introduced themselves and told me what they where in charge of during my surgery!

We did the CT scan and x-rays just waiting to hear from the Dr office. It has been a week.

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.

As of December 31, 2016, S Hoffer did not disclose any Outside Relationships with Industry.
