Patient Experience Reviews
Dr. Arafah is is the kindest and most caring doctor I see at UH. He cares about you and is concerned about your total well being
Excellent experience with this doctor. I wish I had been sent this questionnaire about my ENT doctor who I saw a few weeks ago. He was fabulous and I would rate him 100% as well.
Dr Arafah is the finest, kindest, and most knowledgeable physician I have ever met. His attention to detail, manner, superb knowledge of his specialty and ability to see problems and solutions even outside his specialty make him unique.
Great provider and staff!
So far I am extremely happy with the care I have received.
Dr. Arafah answered my questions with kindness and expertise.
While my appointment was scheduled for 10:10 and I did not go back until 10:28 once back was seen quickly. I appreciate that the doctor took his time with me and was not rushed, and I would hope the same is true for all patients which I know may cause some delays. I would rather have a slightly longer wait time and a not rushed appointment than be taken back immediately and be rushed with my doctors. Overall this was a great visit with the doctor and I am grateful for his overall care and expertise!
Dr. Arafat is an expert in his field. He monitors my thyroid condition. I have referred people to him. I trust his judgement completely. He gives me helpful advice about medical issues.
Dr. Arafah and staff are always courteous and seem to care about me. I am thankful for that.
Dr. Arafah is wonderful very good provider
Very pleased with the visit, felt real progress was made regarding thyroid issue
He's an excellent doctor and I always understand what he's telling me.
I couldn't have been happier how the Doctor & Nurse helped me with my appointment.
The nurse was very kind to get me a cup of water. I was very nervous and my anxiety was heightened. She made me feel comfortable and the water was very needed. I found Dr. Arafah after seeing 3 other Endocrinologists at a different hospital network that were subpar. My first visit with Dr. Arafah I only had print outs of all my paperwork from my cancer diagnosis and my treatment. He spent a very long time reading though everything and asked questions no other provider had asked. He tested and triple checked things that were previously missed. He made me feel that my health was just as important to him as it was to me. Often times in my 7 years since diagnosis I have felt that only I was fighting for or even cared about my health. Thus visit wad just my annual check in but he still gives me his time and patience. It's nerve racking every year but I am so glad I get to check in with Dr. Arafah because I know he truly cares about me as a patient.
Visit went good. Dr. Is great answering questions and observing how I am. I like him.
Everything went well with my visit
Really loved this doctor and his partner. They both explained things in away I could understand, were very informative, read up on my medical history before seeing me which was nice so I didn't need to repeat myself. Doctor even followed up with my test results the next day which was a Saturday and his partner even called Monday just to double check I got his message since he had to leave a voice-mail.
My visit went as expected everyone was professional and respectful and knowledgeable
Good experience and informative
Excellent care! ! All my questions were answered.
Excellent care.
Excellent for the most part.
I have been seeing Dr. Arafah since my *** surgery in 2004. He is an excellent doctor. ***
The Dr. Still saw me even though I was late.He listened and answered my questions.
Dr. Arafah is an OUTSTANDING Endocrinologist. He has been my lead physician for 35 years! And now I travel 1,200 miles annually to see him. If surgery became necessary, I would use UH and Dr. Arafah.
Dr. Arafah is an outstanding physician. He has a great "bedside manner" and listens carefully to the questions you have and gives thorough explanations that are easy to understand. I have a lot of confidence in his evaluation of my disorder.
Very caring and knowledgeable about my condition
The office staff is very much improved. Provider is always excellent.
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.
