Industry Relationships

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 2/14/2023, Dr. Costandi 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.

DR. COSTANDI EXCELLENT BED SIDE MANNER. NOT SEEN IN OTHERS AT MH OR UH.

Dr. Jedlicka took the lead on addressing my chronic back pain issues. She diagnosed the causes of my back pain and coordinated referrals to multiple specialists for consultation and/or treatment. Dr. Costandi is now pivotal in treating my back pain which is already starting to show improvement under his care.

Reviewed on Nov 27, 2023

All of the health care providers seemed genuinely interested in my progress and wellbeing.

Best I've ever had 100%. I've already have recommended him to friends

Dr. Constandi is impersonal and always in a hurry. He has been treating me for over a year and half the time I wasn't sure what he was doing.

Reviewed on Aug 22, 2023

Awesome experience, DR. CONSTANDI IS INCREDIBLE in his field.

Reviewed on Jun 8, 2023

Dr. Costandi & staff are genuinely trying to help me improve my back issues. I appreciate all their efforts.

Reviewed on Jun 8, 2023

Dr. Costandi has a very poor bedside manner. When I asked questions he seemed "put out" as if I was questioning his judgement. When I appeared upset, he just left the room. His resident/fellow stayed in the room and apologized. Not what I expected from the Cleveland Clinic.

Reviewed on May 12, 2023

Although the doctor and I disagree on one portion of my care plan, it is only a minor thing. I believe that he is acting in my best interests.

Reviewed on Apr 28, 2023

So grateful for the care I received at Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Constandi and his team are professional, caring and amazing at all they do.

Reviewed on Apr 19, 2023

Dr Costandi is great and seems like he is very much on board with everything and happy to help.

Reviewed on Apr 19, 2023

I came to Dr. Constandi for pain management, and he has taken me off the opioids I was taking for pain, but he has not provided me with a satisfactory alternative. After my recent attempt to install a stimulator, I was and still am in considerable pain. The medications he has me taking are not working. I do not feel he has addressed the level of pain I am in.
