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.

Dr Sullivan sets up the appointments personally and she is the absolute best patient facing physician I have seen at the Cleveland Clinic.

Dr Sullivan has gone above and beyond to help me and my family understand how this disease is impacting all of us. She also listens intently and makes suggestions and recommendations to discuss with other providers such as neurology. It is clear that she is an instrumental part of an integrated wholistic patient centered approach to delivering care.

Dr. Sullivan always makes me feel more centered and grounded after our visit. I was overwhelmed the last weeks before with multiple health testing and findings and diagnosis. The roller coaster ride was fast and furious. To my relief the worst were ruled out. For other diagnosis confirmed and update on future care on-going discussions with said doctors. I am glad she is my provider. She has a caring nurturing presence.

I love Amy Sullivan. I have a hard time with doctors especially psychiatrist and therapist. Doctors too. I had bad experiences that make me react to doctors and hospitals I can hardly take medicine. Amy is the only therapist I can talk to. Bshe has been a Godvsent to me. She understands my struggles and always me to process the way that is best for me . She is truly amazing. I had others that have left and I they want me to start at the beginning which is hard but I'm so glad Amy is still here to help me process.
