Dr. Reed's staff as always was amazing & her nurse Karen was on top of everything.Dr. Reed (as always) lets me talk about other things going on medically that I may have concerns bc might affect what she is treating for, etc. She ALWAYS listens & I have NEVER (I can honestly say NEVER) left her office where she has simplified whatever the issue was & has taken worry off my mind and put things in perspective. She is extremely patient & always supportive no matter what is going on. I know I can trust her input and what she sees, hears, knows that may be difficult for me to verbalize appropriately esp when not sure what some new medical thing is & how affects overall health (Dr. Reed's treatment every 3 months is the only reason I can have normal days and not be stuck at b a dark room, have quality of life that would abuse has recommendation for something to improve quality of life she will bring up). I ALWAYS leave Dr. Reed's office better and less stressed/anxious about other things bc as an MD she has perspective I don't & I feel blessed she always listens & simplifies also providing positive outlook for improving health more w/her advice for anything I am not sure affects her (bc ultimately I'd be area of health isn't doing well it can disturb the balance of things). *** It is a privilege and blessing she is my physician and I am lucky she works w such fantastic people in her practice.

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.
