I had a very good follow-up with Mary. She answered all my questions.
Mary was a pleasure to work with and explained my results.Each step of the appointment was clearly guided. Thank you for wonderful care.
Mary is a wonderful presence at the Breen Breast Center. She is knowledgeable and caring. She deserves a raise!
Excellent care. Every effort was given to make me feel comfortable.
Listened to me carefully, offered clear explanations, very patient and thorough. I was thrilled when this provider told me she would be involved in my care on an ongoing basis. The information she provided me had the potential to be scary, but she made me feel like I was in good hands and that UH wants to provide me with the best care possible.
Very friendly from the check in to the end.

Mary C. Has always been excellent in every way, I cannot say enough nice things about her. She is professional, compassionate and patient - very easy to talk to, listens carefully and answers all my questions, I have never felt rushed. When dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis, it means so much to have an NP you are confident with, and who you feel genuinely cares about your health.
Very Good with much concern and making sure I know what's going on with me and if I understood each step
Mary C. Is absolutely great. If she were to leave I would try to follow. She makes me feel comfortable and confident that I am well cared for.

This was my first visit with Mary since Gladys retired from her CNP position. Mary is a close facsimile to Gladys so I'm very thankful to have her on my team.

The professionalism and the amount of emotional support was superior to any I've ever had.
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, Mary Cvitkovic did not disclose any Outside Relationships with Industry.
