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. 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, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.
As of 7/22/2024, Dr. Baron has reported the financial relationships with the companies listed below. In general, patients should feel free to contact their doctor about any of the relationships and how the relationships are overseen by Cleveland Clinic. To learn more about Cleveland Clinic's policies on collaborations with industry and innovation management, go to our Integrity in Innovation page.

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.
242 Patient Satisfaction Reviews
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions shown below from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.

Dr. Baron is very knowledgalbe and has the ability to put his knowledge into terms that are easy to understand. He presents the whole picture, not just bits and pieces. I felt like I was conversing with someone who really cared about me and my cluster headaches. The amount of pain was of concern to him and finding ways to circumvent the headaches and decrease at least some of the pain was very apparent. I felt like we worked together to come up with a treatment plan that I had a voice in not just him telling me what we would do next. His willingness to answer my many questions was that of patience and understanding. I never felt like I was asking a dumb question. He would answer and then made sure it made sense to me. Additionally, I did not feel rushed one bit ... His patience and empathy is to be commended.

This was my 2nd visit to a neurologist. Dr Baron was BY FAR the better experience. He listened to what I was saying, asked questions to understand my symptoms, actually seemed to care about my answers and made me feel like a person and not just a checkmark in his day.

I have had migraines since I can remember (elementary school) and have had treatment for them since high school (2000) through many different providers due to my location in school, college, law school and beyond. Dr. Baran is by far the most thoughtful provider. He listens and suggests treatments based on your specific issues instead of the one size fits all I was used to. He is thorough and kind.
