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 2/1/2024, Dr. Garg 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 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.

Dr Garg was very personable. Listened to my concerns and asked question pertaining to my Issue. Came to the conclusion that I needed a procedure to start to figure out what the Issue Is.

Reviewed on Mar 18, 2024

Dr. Garg is smart, compassionate and engaging. Her impeccable diagnosis of my condition and effective treatment of my condition changed my life. She succeeded where many before her had failed. I am indebted to her. We meet by video conference. There are bugs that need to be worked out around that system. We almost always have issues with audio and video and have had to continue the meeting via cell phone.

She was very helpful and had suggestions my physician has not tried yet.

Reviewed on Dec 13, 2023

Dr. Garg was very dismissive of my chronic pain from the beginning. She had no interest in providing any sort of care that would provide relief or benefit for my quality of life. She disregarded the explanation of my pain and didn't seem concerned AT ALL. I was very disappointed that not only my mother had to take time off from work, travel over 5 hours to be seen by someone at the Cleveland Clinic who we presumed would care about my quality of life. Dr. Garg was very dismissive and didn't seem to care at all. I have ZERO interest in ever seeing her again as a patient as she has no interest in increasing my quality of life. As an underweight female she disregarded all of my symptoms and simply ignored my pain. She should be extremely embarrassed to be a professional at the Cleveland Clinic and treat patients in chronic pain this way.
