Patient Experience Reviews
This care provider was well-informed and kind.
Dr Kelly is one of the best pediatric specialists we have ever seen. She encourages our kids to understand their bodies, describe their Injuries, understand how the Injury occurred and exactly what they need to do to heal. She answers our questions comprehensively and gives us concrete examples of what Is and Is not recommended during the recovery process. This is particularly important with concussion injuries where the symptoms are more subjective/subtle and the healing process is not as cut and dry as a cast for a broken bone. She interfaces seamlessly with the trainers and our older two's high schools and makes sure the trainers and informed and able to support further care. We cannot recommend her highly enough and see her for every one of our sports-related injuries. With three adolescents/teenagers, all of whom play contact sports *** we have had many sports-related and ortho Injuries. Mandy began treating our eldest child when she was 22 months. She Is now 17. There Is no one else we would trust with our family's health.
Dr Weiss Kelly is thorough and professional and allays my anxiety re: procedure
*** Dr Kelly has explained very well what's going on with my knee and how we're going to treat it. I'm completely comfortable with her care. She's fantastic.
Dr. Weiss-Kelly was absolutely wonderful and gave our daughter excellent care and helped get an MRI scheduled immediately and then a visit with a surgeon. We can't thank her enough for everything.
This was our first time visiting this office. The doctor and the resident in training were both excellent. They both explained things well and developed good rapport with ***.

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.
