Dr. TISDEL, was excellent. He knew exactly what was wrong and explained everything. He showed me my xrays and explained them. He called In my prescription and had the nurse come in and she explained the brace for my ankle. She informed me if for any reason I needed to come back call & make an appointment. I was impressed of the whole process and will return when needed.

Dr. Tisdel was awesome. I asked for things beyond the basics that could accelerate my healing (broken foot) and executed his recommendations precisely. It appears that I cut the healing time down by over 30%. Wish everyone who needs an orthopedic gets a doc like Dr. Tisdel (and listens to him).

I really like Dr. Tisdel because he's leaving open all options for future visits and treatments for what I am dealing with right now. I just hope I can get some much needed pain relief for this excruciatingly painful hip bursitis. Future visits are definitely looking very possible.

Dr. Tisdel is so thorough and knowledgeable about the orthopedic problems I am having and truly wants to see us patients feeling better. He suggested some follow up strategies if the steroid injection in my hip doesn't work and gave me a good home physical therapy program to follow in hopes that it helps relieve the pain I have been experiencing. I feel so lucky to have him as one of my UH orthopedics providers.

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.
