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 4/16/2023, Dr. George 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.

Wanted to change pcp to have all doctors with Cleveland clinic and needing refill of Adderall.which I've been on for more than 10 years.I thought having this video appointment would do the job. Ava George is excellent however seeing different doctors is an inconvenience and seems like it is a nickel and dime thing to see how much money can be revenue from the patient when my current doctor prescribes my medication for me. Unfortunately I've decided to stay with my current pcp outside of Cleveland clinic

To transition to a pcp takes months to get an appointment. My recommendation would be to extend a few hours a week so there wouldn't be such a long wait to establish with a primary care provider

Dr. Ava George did an excellent job! She truly took her time with me, asked me the right questions & strongly suggested seeing an infectious Dr, when in the past I asked to see someone about my leg & no further treatment was suggested. I appreciate Dr. Ava George.

So it seems like pcp providers are very limited in what they can prescribe or recommend. My visits seem like gateways to specialists. The waste of money on a primary care visit when I just get referred is pretty astonishing

I like Dr George. She does her job. She took the time to go further with my health issue because it really was looking like I would be visiting an ER. So far I think she is an outstanding Doctor and I haven't had an outstanding Doctor in my life. I hope her high level of treatment doesn't dissolve over the years of her career like the 99% of Doctors today.

Love being able to do video visits. So convenient. All concerns very well addressed. She is a very caring doctor. One of the best I have ever experienced as far as tending to every detail of care. She has helped me tremendously and continues to do so. Very professional. Always follows up.
