Patient Experience Reviews
Dr was open and honest and receptive to my feedback and all my questions
Always a good experience at UH.
Excellent
Always a pleasure to see Dr. Karas and her staff. Everybody is very kind and helpful even when they are very busy. which they were on the day I was there.
She was great. She explained 2 options and the pros and cons of both in detail, as a group. Then she talked to each of us personally to go over any questions and concerns we might have.
Dr. Karas, nurse *** and office staff *** are wonderful. They are caring and compassionate.
Dr. Karas is very good at explaining everything and helping decide what treatment is best for me.

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, Linden Karas did not disclose any Outside Relationships with Industry.
