Everyone in the office were considerate and accommodating
Dr. Tangen is one of a very few dr who actually has bed side manner, he is concerned , he goes out of his way to get things moving back into the right direction with the problem you came in with . He easily explains what is wrong in fancy medical terms and then in layman's terms. He makes sure you understand . He is easy to talk to. He goes above and beyond!
No bad experience with provider Dr. Tangen has always been awesome from day one (since 2013). ***
Front office staff was very impersonal and borderline rude. Made me feel like I was bothering them. Doctor came out with me and gave the nurses instructions which they totally ignored. They had to ask me what he said. At the time they were talking among themselves and paid no attention to the doctor while he was giving instructions. This was my first ever visit to this office. Not sure what the future holds if this continues.
Dr.Tangen is awesome ***
Receptionist was unprofessional

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.
