She was very through and coiurteous.She was helpful in explaining options for me and the next course of treatment.
Good
This was my first visit to this doctor. I appreciated her professionalism and thoroughness and will definitely return for ongoing monitoring.
The Dr needs a new intern. His lack of interest was evident with how often he yawned during the appointment.
This entire experience was both professional and personal. Dr. E is the best. She is such an asset. I am blessed to have her on my team.
I felt comfortable with the doctor and a full explanation was given me about my condition. Gave me a feeling of confidence that she will give me the best medical treatment and advice available. She was kind and not overbearing.

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.
