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 6/30/2024, Dr. Medina 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.

I have suffered from many chronic illnesses for 12 years now. I have seen over 30 specialists. The story is usually the same: they dont really care about what I have to say. Dr. Medina took the time to read all the documents I brought and listen to all and everything I had to say. This is not only rare but so welcomed! He truly respected me as a patient suffering from illness who still required respect and kindness.

I need to schedule annual appointments, but the next year was not available on either the website or when I called the scheduler. This must happen to many patients who have had the benefit of your excellent medical providers, such as Michael Medina.

Reviewed on Feb 29, 2024

The doctor came in and immediately went to the computer. He was more interested in dictating his report rather than addressing my concerns. He reviewed notes from a prior physican (from 5 years ago) and based his findings (pretty much) on the other phycican's notes. As a new patient. I felt rushed. He did advise me of yet another doctor to see so I appreciate that.
