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 5/18/2024, Dr. Makin has reported the financial relationships with the companies listed below. 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.

Dr. Makin treats me as a unique individual. She understands my concerns because what is normal range , may still require dosage adjustment because I feel better at the lower range of normal. She is just a very pleasant and caring doctor.

Excellent care. I recommend Dr. Makin on a regular basis

Dr Makin always has top of the line care. She cares, and is "human," not stuffy and stiff. I highly recommend her.

Took almost four months to see doctor

Reviewed on Mar 12, 2024

I canceled my follow up appointment because this doctor only wanted to do what she wanted and didn't care at all about what I said I needed. Very disappointed!

Reviewed on Feb 23, 2024

Literally saw her for 5 minutes. She didn't even feel my neck for my thyroid. This was my yearly check up. Did blood work after. Got a message on my chart to continue with same dose. Waste of time.

Getting an appointment with Dr. Makin is very hard, it's easier getting an appointment with the President . She is definitely worth the wait if it's not an emergency.

Dr Makin is amazing! She really cares about what's going on and gets to the heart of the matter quickly.
