Dr Sarac-Leonard is a new internist for me. I was hesitant about changing physicians. I have received excellent care from Dr Sarac-Leonard. Dr Sarac-Leonard Is attentive to my needs, listens and explains proposed plan of care through education. I appreciate that Dr Sarac-Leonard is not aggressive in her approach. I recently had concerns regarding lab values. I spoke to the staff late in the day however the doctor was not in the office. Dr Sarac-Leonard called me that evening. Not only did the staff communicate my concern, but Dr Sarac-Leonard thought it important enough to call me. Great patient care and I am most appreciative.

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.
