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.

My daughter had a very good virtual appointment Dr. Tamburro & a resident team Dr. we seen. They gave me good medical advise on taking care of Rose eczema. I have seen a big improvement in the healing process by following the instructions I was given. Rose no longer has itching or irritation and she sleeps better at night due to the treatment.

We are asked to fill an online questionnaire and then asked the same questions again. The ancillary staff calls 15 minutes before apt time and then you have to wait till whenever the provider is available. for us it was much later than the apt time. This means that there is no respect for patients time in waiting. if the provider is running late then the "pre" activities should be adjusted accordingly.

Dr. Tamburro was amazing. She was very approachable and my son enjoyed her and felt comfortable talking to her--well as much as a 13 year old will talk. She followed up with a detailed account of the treatment plan that I very much appreciated and have referred to a few times since beginning treatment. I was very impressed with her and her staff. I have been telling EVERYONE that has kids about her in the event that they would need a pediatric dermatologist.

Dr. Tamburro's "bedside manner" via virtual visit was excellent. I was going into this thinking a virtual visit with a toddler would be very difficult. However, Dr. Tamburro knew how to communicate with my child and calm her down via the computer screen. She was very gracious, understanding, and provided excellent medical care.

An in person appointment is always better than video so that the doctor can truly examine areas. But I believe she saw what she needed in the video. We can follow up down the road in person.

Dr Tamburro is incredibly kind and very patient with my daughter. Not sure how-but she got my 7 year old daughter (who is very scared of needles) to let her give her a shot on her nose. It just shows how well Dr. Tamburro is able to establish rapport and trust with my daughter. Love her!
