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.

The Dr and his staff were extremely kind. The first day I met Dr McGannon, he told me that the type of glaucoma I have is hereditary. Who knew? Now I can forewarn my children and grandchildren.

Reviewed on Oct 7, 2024

Can't give a recommendation for the doctor as he hasn't completed the treatment. I can comment on his dislike of questions from a patient. It seemed as if he thought I was challenging him but I was seeking answers regarding my future surgery.

The staff in Dr. McGannon's office is wonderful and attentive. However, waiting ten days for a call (so far and counting) to schedule cataract surgery Is unreasonable, especially without any idea how far out surgeries are being scheduled. Weeks? Months? It's a discount of a patient's time and shows a disregard for our time and ability to plan. I have had other surgeries at the Cleveland Clinic and scheduling was done In a much more timely fashion.

Dr. McGannon is thorough, pleasant, attentive, professional and caring. My sister referred me to him as she had had him for years; and she as I am very particular with my health care physician choices. I believe in good communication and Dr. McGannon provided me with a thorough explanation of the cataract proceedure. He deals with it every day but he understands that patients know nothing about the surgery and I am thankful for this trait in a physician.
