My experience with this doctor has always been good. But at this juncture of my care it seems that I'm going to need a knee replacement. Of course he recommended some doctors for me for consultation. I would recommend him to anyone who asked me for a orthopedic doctor

Dr. Karns, Dr. ***, and the rest of their team were very kind and respectful. They both took my concerns into account, but also ultimately gave their own recommendation as to what treatment plan should be pursued. I felt like they listened to me and tried to guide me to what would be the best possible option.

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.
