He was excellent. He always takes his time during my visits. He took care of my meniscus tear, but he didn't really listen to me initially when I expressed that I thought the problem was something beyond the osteoarthritis- something more major. I went nearly 7 months before he agreed to request an MRI. I believe precious time was wasted. He did actually apologize to me for that oversight. I forgave him. He is a brilliant doctor, in my opinion. My knee is feeling the best it has in months after having had the surgery. I hope it continues on this success story.

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.
