This was my first visit to establish care with Dr. Pope. I find Dr. Pope to be exceptional. She was very thorough, patient and empathetic. She listened to my story and concerns and addressed each aspect of my concerns. I felt that I was heard as a whole person, not just with a focus on one isolated health issue. Dr. Pope asked pertinent questions and explained her rationale for my care. She supported shared decision making and found a wonderful solution to an issue that I have to help me to feel more comfortable with my treatment plan. I work in healthcare which leads me to have high standards for my providers. I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Pope as a provider in my care team!

Dr. Pope is the best doctor I've had in a long time! She is kind, and very understanding and also she's very personable. I felt really really comfortable talking with her. And her staff are amazing, they were very attentive to me while waiting for the doctor to come in for my examination. I had not taking my blood pressure medicine before my visit, and One of her staff brought me soda and crackers to take with my medicine. I thought that was so thoughtful of her to care about my health.

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, Rachel Pope did not disclose any Outside Relationships with Industry.
