Patient Experience Reviews
Great
Dr. Rao is, perhaps, the kindest, most compassionate medical provider I have EVER dealt with. While he was not the doctor I needed to see, he was definitely the person I needed to see. Dr. Rao referred me to a urologist in the UH system, but was most caring about listening to my condition and concerns and explaining what the appropriate next step is. I hope to never have to use him as an oncologist, but will continue my relationship with him as an integrative specialist. Dr. Rao has renewed my faith in the medical system as I see him as a true health care provider and not simply a prescription writer. Thank you, Dr. Rao!

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.
