Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit.

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.

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.

It is hard to find the adequate words for describing how grateful I am for Dr Bencsath's care recently. Despite his phenomenally busy schedule, he arranged TWO phone conversations with my son and me the other week. He was patient, prepared, empathetic and attentive. He listened patiently and with keen precision, he responded to our concerns and questions. I am extraordinarily grateful and impressed.

I am so happy to have this provider Dr Bencsath as my doctor/surgeon. He is very thoughtful and understanding. He listened to my past experiences and how bad they were. He was very thorough and explained to me about the steps and procedures that may have to be done. He has a amazing bedside manner and even my daughter in law who was with me, really liked him. I am very satisfied with my provider.

Great experience! Dr. Kalman Bencsath was very helpful and knowledgeable. However, nobody called me to schedule the procedure! If I did receive a call, nobody left me a voicemail. I'd like to schedule the surgery. However, besides the scheduling, everything was perfect.

My appointment with Dr. Bencsath was absolutely ideal. He was patient, engaged, and genuine. Even though my medical concern was graver than I expected, and the treatment significantly more complicated, his warm, matter-of-fact delivery of this news kept me grounded and calm. Dr. Bencsath's expertise was readily apparent, and by the time I left I had no doubts that the procedure he suggested was both necessary and prudent.
