The doctor was well expected. She explained everything to me took her time to listen to me and everything went well while we were together. She also scheduled an appointment for November, but I have to call because they're scheduled wasn't open to make that appointment this early and she explained everything else to me, and was professional and respectable

Dr. Sankari is a good listener and compassionate person who can focus on your problems with a pat on the back for your efforts to follow her (and other physicians) direction. She never seems to be in a rush to get to the next patient. Her office is quiet and comforting.

I saw the provider about something that came up on a scan that another provider had ordered. This provider spent a lot of time asking me questions as we tried to figure out together what could have caused the anomaly. She ordered appropriate follow-up tests and I felt that she was concerned about me, and was a good listener.

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, Layla Sankari did not disclose any Outside Relationships with Industry.
