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 10/1/2023, Dr. Tanaka-Esposito 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.

My first impression that first time I met this physician was very positive. Seeing her after my procedure 3 months later it wasn't as pleasant. I had a lot of questions that she didn't want to answer because it wasn't in the realm of her purview. Only wanted to talk about electrical part of my heart even though there were other areas of the test she ordered that were abnormal. I was told that I should talk to my regular cardiologist about questions other than electrical issues. I can understand that, but I guess it was the way she expressed that. It was at the end of the day so maybe she was just tired.

This practice has been efficient & attentive in my treatment. I am 97 years old and active. My medical condition has caused me considerable fatigue. My doctors in Columbus have not provided a treatment plan to treat my condition. I think it is because I am 'too old' in their view. Dr Tanaka gave me a treatment plan. She also gave me hope, saying she looks not at the patient's age but at their overall functioning/wellness in determining a treatment plan.

Dr. Tanaka is exceptional in the time and care she takes during appointments to make sure all questions are answered. While she must be extremely busy one never gets the sense that she needs to rush through the appointment. In fact, she makes you feel as if you are the only patient she has that day and whatever time you need she will provide.
