About
Stanley Bazarek MD, PhD, is a fellowship-trained neurosurgeon at University Hospitals and an assistant professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Dr. Bazarek’s specialized clinical expertise is in the management of patients with degenerative spine disease, spinal trauma, tumors of the spine and nerves, peripheral nerve/brachial plexus injuries, nerve compression syndromes, focal spasticity, and nerve reconstruction for spinal cord injury.
After earning his undergraduate degree at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, Dr. Bazarek completed an MD/PhD program at Chicago Medical School/Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. His doctoral thesis focused on the use of stem cell biology and gene therapy to engineer cells in the brain for repair.
After medical school, Dr. Bazarek continued his training at Harvard Medical School, where he completed a residency in neurological surgery, a fellowship in complex spine surgery at Brigham & Women’s Hospital and a fellowship in peripheral nerve reconstruction at Massachusetts General Hospital.
A prolific writer, Dr. Bazarek has authored and co-authored numerous articles related to his areas of expertise. He is also active in laboratory research to investigate novel strategies to enhance neural reconstruction, such as the use of stem cells to reinnervate and preserve the health of damaged nerves and muscles. He is also working with the neural engineering team at Case Western to implant peripheral nerve electrodes to restore limb function following spinal cord injury.
In his free time, Dr. Bazarek enjoys spending time with his wife and son. He is originally from Chicago and strongly believes that treating patients as he would his own family is the best guide for clinical care.
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, Stanley Bazarek did not disclose any Outside Relationships with Industry.
