Dr. Li was very empathetic to my situation. He clearly explained what to expect for a follow up biopsy. He really made me feel at ease as I was pretty anxious with a diagnosis I believed to be cancer. He has a wonderful manner when speaking with me on my issues.

This was the first time I saw Dr. Li and he was great, I was referred to him for a possible biopsy which I ended up having, he explained the whole procedure, answered all my questions so I felt totally prepared for the procedure when it was done.

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, Shawn Li did not disclose any Outside Relationships with Industry.
