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 8/20/2018, Dr. Spatola 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 would recommend this Doctor to everyone. he's very easy going; makes you feel comfortable and he never rushes you.

The physician seems to be more rushed than before. Time for each visit has been shortened . It is difficult to speak about personal health history in time schedule for each visit.

I was looking for a pcp and my wife spoke very highly of Dr Spatola. From the first moment I met Dr Spatola I knew I found my primary care physician. I really enjoyed our conversation and appreciated his bedside manner and feedback.. Thank you so much.

Dr Spatola didn't seem to have my records from PBG which I can't imagine,but he didn't seem to know me. I asked him to fill out my disability form which he does for me once a year and has done it for the past 2 years. He said he never did this before and found it hard to believe that he has done it for me in the past. I said he could just check his records and hopefully he made a copy in my file but evidently not! I think I need to get another doctor. I felt as if I was a bother to him.

Everything about Dr. Spatola is excellent. We, my husband and I, enjoy visiting with Dr. Spatola, it is always a good visit. We are very sorry that Dr. Spatola is moving to a different office, he is a great doctor and a great person. Sad to see him go.

He was in too much of a hurry for any comments. It seems he was barely in there with me, before saying he had to go or he'd be in trouble with the Clinic.

I was basically ignored by the staff, outside of getting my medical information.
