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.

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.

When the doctor says, see the scheduler on your way out - then to save $$ the clinic has that desk closed and one has to wait in line AGAIN in the reception area behind 6 people - IT"S FRUSTRATING!! Ortho is a busy place - you NEED a scheduler there - NOT make patients wait in the same line they already waited in when they first arrived for their appointment. I was simply trying to get into OT - as soon as I could - and had to wait another 10 minutes (and during those 10 minutes OT DID have an opening... and I missed it because I was in line AGAIN!!!

Dr. Umeta treated me with respect. I am 78 years old. Some providers do not want to treat persons of my age for problems such as rotator cuff injuries. He examined me thoroughly on my initial visit and on the follow up and carefully explained my options as well as my progress.
