Patient Experience Reviews
Great service and support, my situation is unique and will keep my 6 month check up until no longer needed
Dr. Newton has been part of my medical care team for 12 years. I am thankful to have him up here close to home. Dr. Newton takes his time with you and listens to your issues or concerns. He doesn't rush you! He knows his stuff.
I have always had a good experience with Dr.Newton, and all staff I have seen. I am very pleased with my care at UH. Thank you.
*** Dr. Newton's nurse was amazing and I can't thank her enough for all her help. My case was very different since I needed to be seen for a commercial underwater diving exam. I had headaches and concussion problems in the past. Thank you *** and Dr. Newton for everything and for scheduling all of my appointments in one day.
Dr. Newton is always a great excellent doctor. He has been my doctor prior to him coming to UH so that speaks volume. I'm thankful to have here close at home and NOT have to travel to see him.I get it and understand that he is a busy man and that other patients may need him longer. That's NOT a problem at all for me. Dr. Newton in my opinion has always gone above and beyond and still does. He's ON TOP of everything and his knowledge is amazing! He is very friendly, patient, kind and empathetic! I have NEVER felt rushed by Dr. Newton! Not In the 12 years of seeing him! His nurse *** is exceptional and she is always a pleasure to deal with! She makes sure you are squared away and just going over what Dr. Newton's plan is or any test he may have order! Also the phone she tried to resolve the call as soon as possible but sometimes it may take a few days because this or that. This visit I had a resident that was nice!
Dr. Newton and Grace are amazing!!
A+++

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.
