Patient Experience Reviews
Dr Razaee is fantastic! He is the best doctor I've ever experienced. I left his office nine months ago for the first time meeting him with an oral cancer diagnosis and still left confident I was in good hands with him.

Awesome surgeon and compassion for his patients. Can't say enough good words about this gentleman.

Doctor was extremely informative, pleasant and thorough. He also had a resident working with him; that young man had all of the same qualities.

I couldn't have asked for better care from either of them and have already recommended Dr. Rezaee to two different people.

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.
