Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists report if they have any collaborations with the pharmaceutical or medical device industries as part of the Cleveland Clinic’s procedures. The Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses payments to its physicians and scientists for speaking and consulting of $5,000 or more per year, and any equity, royalties, and fiduciary relationships in companies with which they collaborate. In publicly disclosing this information, the Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its doctors’ connections with industry and those of their immediate family members. As of 7/30/2008, Dr. Tomford has reported no financial relationship with industry that is applicable to this listing. Patients should feel free to contact their doctor about relationships with industry and how the relationships are overseen by the Cleveland Clinic.
