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 3/12/2021, Dr. Patterson 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.

I cannot say enough about the compassionate care I receive from Dr. Patterson. The time she takes, the consideration she gives for my concerns, makes me feel valued and hopeful. Her attention to detail and gentle and consistent reminder to have a colonoscopy (which I put off ) discovered a polyp that was removed and found benign. She is truly is concerned about the patient as a whole,regardless of their socio-economic status: I am a low-income, subsidized health insurance,patient. Thank you, Dr. Patterson--I appreciate your phenomenal care!

I had to wait a month for my appointment, however, the office did give me a follow up call to question the severity of my concern. They offered for me to see another provider sooner, but I declined as I preferred to stay with Dr. Patterson.

Dr. Patterson has made me feel like I have been a patient there for years as compared to just a couple months since having established my care. During my most recent visit, she offered numerous explanations and possibilities outside of her direct scope of practice. I appreciate her attention to detail as well as her holistic approach.
