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 6/12/2018, Dr. Hanicak 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.

When I call for a same day appointment, I have always been treated professionally and timely. I have emailed Dr. Hanicek about my health and progress on medications. He, personally, emails me and has often called me to ask how I feel after I've been rather, such as Jan 2018 flu. Amazing professionalism.

Dr H always discusses new meds and reviews past meds and how well they're handled an issue. He knows my history, remembers my history, so we can talk about meds he gave me 5+ years ago.
Reviewed on Nov 1, 2018
Dr. H has been my physician since 2003. My daughter, now 40, saw him about years ago when she was ill. He still asks about her and her health. If there were an award for the Most Incredibly Professional and Responsive Family Doctor, he should be awarded.

It seems to me that it is very hard to get an appointment when you want it with Dr Hanicak. I had to cancel an appointment this year it it took around two months to get another appointment. Does not seem I would get a same day appointment with him if I needed it. He is very busy.

it is almost October. when I called yesterday for an appt. they said I couldn't see Dr Hanicak until December. I really don't want to see a resident or nurse practitioner. I have been his patient for 20 years. very frustrating and I may have to find another Dr that I can see when I have issues. Dr Hanicak is great. I really don't want to switch Doctors.
