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.

What we learned in scheduling for this appointment to stay away from the summer months because of the new vacation scheduling system made it impossible to get the needed tests and coordinated with Dr Fares office. So we solved this problem by always scheduling outside of the summer months. Dr Fares office really tried to help us during the attempt to schedule during the summer. Great team!!
