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 11/01/2020, Dr. Samuels has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
First time meeting Dr. Samuels. Great bedside manner, answered all questions & took time to confirm my records were accurate in OSU's system (they were not & he made appropriate O's).
Dr. Samuels is so caring and compassionate! I have a history of pre-term labor and he makes me feel calm and reassured. I feel very fortunate to have him co-manage my high risk pregnancy.
Excellent!
I am extremely satisfied with the providers at OSU. I live an hour away and they have all worked diligently to coordinate care with specialists closer to home in between my OSU appointments.
Dr. Samuels was very pleasant. I really appreciate that he seemed to be interested in what I had to say and was very knowledgeable about condition I was seeing him for. I highly recommend him. He took his time in my visit and I didn't feel rushed.
Overall please, but unhappy that I was not contacted about the results of my urine culture, even though the results showed I required antibiotic treatment. Results were in MyChart Thursday an the following Monday I contacted the office since nno one had reached out.
It's a pleasure when I see Dr. Philip, he is very good friendly and knowledgeable.
Dr. Samuels is by far the best doctor I have ever encountered. Even after 11 years he remembers me and the details of my health. He takes time to take care of all aspects of my health and mental health.
Have had three wonderful experiences at OSU MFM - all of the nurses, ultrasound technicians and doctors have been just wonderful for each of my pregnancies.
He listened and answered my questions.
