Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 11/21/2019, Dr. Traugott has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
acceptable
the physician is really understanding & explains things completely, she makes an uncomfortable situation as comfortable as possible, she treats you with respect & compassion & as though she really cares for you
Excellent doctor
Dr. Amber is my husband's physician and now mine for my particular problem. She is the only physician whom I trust for this problem. She knows her field and has the expertise. She is the best physician! She truly cares for the whole person! One is comfortable in her presence. I have the upmost trust in her and her staff. Those students working with her are truly blessed and fortunate! As a graduate of OSU School of Nursing, I am proud that she is employed by OSU!
