Patient Experience Reviews
Great doctor overall good experience.
Really helped with a long standing problem.
My provider was excellent. It was the providers in the hallway and the two nurses that were talking about office issues that made me very uncomfortable. I should not have to listen to their complaints about other employees.
I would highly recommend Dr. Schuster to family and friends.
This was my first meeting with Dr. Schuster. He was very kind and caring. I liked him very much. After I met with him he had his staff set up an Echocardiogram for me on ***. I would recommend him to my friends. Great Doctor!!

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.
