Industry Relationships
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 8/4/2008,
Dr. Gilbertson 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. To learn more about
