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 11/29/2018, Dr. Zuccaro, Jr. 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.

Dr. Zuccaro was very patient with me. He answered all my questions & went over the procedure with me. I comfortable in his care and trust him. Kim, his nurse, is absolutely the best. She is reassuring and takes time addressing questions. She even called me back to see if I had any further questions. I am thankful for both of them.

My first experience with Dr. Christine Lee for my routine Colonoscopy did not go as planned. They had to abort the procedure. I was then scheduled with Dr. Gregory Zuccaro Jr. MD. I was very pleased with Dr. Zuccaro. Felt Dr. Zuccaro's staff was more personable and gave more detailed information about the colonoscopy procedure. Dr. Zuccaro definitely made me feel at ease and explained everything very Thoroughly!!!! I would recommend him to anyone.

physician was awesome. I had a 2 1/2 hour wait for procedure though. I just wish it were more punctual. I do understand things come up, delaying everyone after. All of the doctors I have encountered in the long process its been for me have been wonderful. This physician is friendly, cheerful and encouraging above every other.

Medications are to be the key subject in my follow-up meeting in 2 weeks. This visit focused on a description of my problems and the ordered tests were looking for problems in physical structure and function of systems. This plan was discussed with me by Dr. Zuccaro and he sought my agreement with how to proceed.
