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.

In general, patients should feel free to contact their doctor about any of the relationships and how the relationships are overseen by Cleveland Clinic.

I had an excellent experience. Dr. Gabbard explained everything including answering a few questions I came up with. Dr. Gabbard was very considerate respectful and demonstrated concern for my issues.

I feel. Like Dr. Gabbard was the first doctor who actually listened to me and gave me reasonable explanations of what my condition might be, not just chalking it up to anxiety, or saying I have no problem, like every other doctor I've seen has told me. He showed concern and passion and within the first five minutes of talking to him I knew I was in the right hands. I can not say enough good things about him. I'm excited to continue treatment with him and figure out how to fix my condition

I felt incredibly rushed and almost silly for seeing this doctor. though he addressed my problems were real, he was not interested in the symptoms behind them. His bedside manner was lacking but so were his listening skills. I walked out feeling very anxious, rushed and unimportant.

Nursing staff was great once the horrific wait time was over. Dr. Gabbard is a wonderful doctor but something must be done to shorten the wait time.

Dr. Gabbard in my opinion is excellent... as soon as he enters the scene he assumes charge of the appointment. He is very knowledgeable, possesses the ability to explain in understandable language what is scheduled for the procedure, and reassures the patient throughout the procedure. I truly appreciate his leadership qualities in such circumstances, he definitely puts the patient as ease relative to the visit.

The hospital is 4 hrs away from me. we stayed at Holiday Inn. It was quite expensive for people who are broke. $19 A night for parking is absolutely rediculous. I've never had to pay for parking at a hospital. The room was very nice but not for poor patients! But...my DR wants your opinion & testing results, because you're the best.

Main scheduling was not informed that Dr. Gabbard's appointments needed to be scheduled directly with his office (i.e. his template was closed to the main scheduler). This provided a bit of confusion trying to get my appointment set up. I ultimately got to the right place, but it would be helpful to notify the primary scheduler that patients need to call his office directly.
