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 7/24/2020, Dr. John 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.

Dr. John took the time to answer questions, explain the purpose for testing, thoroughly reviewed previous records to re-familiarize himself with my case after 18 months or more, expressed potential concerns based on current health and apparent progression of my health. Most importantly, Dr. John connects on a level of respect and courtesy from one human being to another.

I have used Zoom for years for work, and provide professional development for university faculty on how to use Zoom. Dr. John was the only person on this call and it seemed as if he had used Zoom for years to meet with his patients. Finding great doctors is very difficulty for patients and getting access is typically also very difficult. If only it was possible to find and recommend the great care provided by the doctors at Cleveland Clinic on LinkedIn, finding and accessing great health care would be much less stressful!

I always feel so comfortable when I see Dr K John. Such a great and witty personality. Never feel rushed. My situation has been difficult to diagnose. I know he really is trying to help solve my medical "mystery".Takes his time listening to me. Assessment thorough. Gives me his thoughts and medical advice. Studies my chart and really tries hard to solve my medical problems. Orders tests that have not been considered by other physicians. Even suggested for me to get a second opinion. Another set of eyes. Such a caring and humble man to suggest that. He was very sincere in his suggestion. Very obvious he wants to help him. He also has a nice rapport with my husband who accompanies me on my visit. I am very happy I was linked up to him. Thank you.
