Biographical Sketch

Professional information:

I was born and raised right here in Cleveland, Ohio. After graduating from St. Ignatius High School I attended the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, received my medical school training at the Medical College of Ohio at Toledo, and my pediatrics residency training at Cleveland Clinic. I then practiced pediatrics and adolescent medicine for 22 years with Euclid Clinic/University Mednet before joining the Cleveland Clinic staff in the summer of 2000.

During my years with Mednet I served as Chair of the Department of Pediatrics and Director of the Newborn Nursery at Euclid Hospital, was a member of the newborn resuscitation team at Euclid Hospital, and was an instructor for the American Heart Association Neonatal Resuscitation Program.

I am board-certified in pediatrics and maintain membership in the American Academy of Pediatrics. I am currently an instructor for the American Heart Association Pediatric Advanced Life Support course.  I am interested in all aspects of child and adolescent medicine with special interests in sports medicine, asthma, the special-needs child, and ADHD/academic failure.

Personal information:

My wife, Patricia and I are married for over 30 years.  Together we nurtured and guided our four children into adulthood.  Being a father is both the most difficult and the most rewarding endeavor of my life. Along the way I enjoyed serving as den leader and cub master of the local Cub Scout pack, assistant scoutmaster of the Boy Scout troop, and team physician for the middle school football teams.

On a personal note, I keep active.  My wife says I never stop moving. My sporting avocations include bicycling, camping, backpacking, bow hunting, fishing, snorkel diving, weight training, and long-distance running. My official 1987 Boston Marathon time was 2 hours, 59 minutes, and 56 seconds. Other hobbies include auto repair (I like fixing things), gardening, reading adventure novels, and chess.  I serve as team physician for the Lake Catholic High School wrestling team. I also volunteer-tutor math and science to high-school students with learning disabilities.

Industry Relationships

Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists may collaborate with the pharmaceutical or medical device industries to help develop medical breakthroughs or provide medical expertise or education. Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.

To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. The Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, the Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.

As of 1/31/2013, Dr. Lock has reported no financial relationship with industry that is applicable to this listing. In general, patients should feel free to contact their doctor about any of the relationships and how the relationships are overseen by the Cleveland Clinic.

Public Health Service-Reportable Financial Conflicts of Interest. Cleveland Clinic scientists and physicians engage in basic, translational and clinical research activities, working to solve health problems, enhance patient care and improve quality of life for patients. Interactions with industry are essential to bringing the researchers’ discoveries to the public, but can present the potential for conflicts of interest related to their research activities. Click here to view a listing of instances where Cleveland Clinic has identified a Public Health Service (PHS)-Reportable Financial Conflict of Interest and has put measures in place to ensure that, to the extent possible, the design, conduct and reporting of the research is free from bias.

* Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists subscribe to the guidance presented in the PhRMA Code on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals and the AdvaMed Code of Ethics on Interactions with Health Care Professionals. As such, gifts of substantial value are generally prohibited.
