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.

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.

Dr Costandi was very curt. I could have handled that if he discussed anything with me and didn't hurt through the appointment. There was no discussion about anything, just a guess at a diagnosis a referral for MRI and a shove out the door.

Dr. Castandi is an outstanding physician in his field both medically & professionally, He has reassured me that he has my best interests in mind in caring for me & treating me medically, He explains everything that he will be doing to relieve me of my pain, He also comes and speaks to me after my procedure (injection} to ask how I was feeling, and what my pain level was afterward, which was at 9 before & 1 after ! Much to my relief, I have 100% confidence in Dr. Castandi as his patient
