Industry Relationships

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 10/31/2024, Dr. Ghasia 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. 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.

A long wait to see a doctor I mean get an appointment to see a doctor

Reviewed on Jul 26, 2024

I waited 2 hours after my appointment time to see the doctor. I was never informed of a delay and arrived 15 mins before my appointment as instructed. After waiting 2 hours the doctor game in after normal business hours nurses in the hall were already packing up to leave. The doctor shined a light in my daughter's eyes for 1 min and said to come back in 4 months and we would dilate her eyes then. This was obviously blowing us off because she wanted to go home and no one wanted to wait the 30 mins it would take to dilate my daughter's eyes to properly check her. I took off work for that appointment and was " Discreetly" turned away so everyone could leave. I was charged for that appointment for nothing at all!

Dr Ghasia is awesome. We really appreciate the care that she provides for my child.

Reviewed on Feb 22, 2024

The main purpose of our visit was because my son is on an IEP for speech. The doctor said my son had excellent vision today, but then voiced concern about maybe being farsighted in the future. She then voiced concern about my son's optic nerve and being high risk for glaucoma. I was pretty caught off guard by that information and was not prepared with questions. The doctor did not expand any further or give more information, but did send us for more testing. In her note on MyChart, she wrote "suspect glaucoma" leaving me more confused and worried.

Dr. Ghasia has always been kind & sweet to my son & answers all my questions kindly & helpfully.
