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.

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.

Dr. John was pleasant, knowledgeable, and caring. He took his time to point out specific areas of my scan, and to explain his opinion of the results. I was in and out of the clinic in less than ninety minutes, including lab work. Since I reside some eighty miles from the main campus, the driving time far exceeded the service time! Dr. John reassured me that everything was fine, and it was well worth the trip. I would not hesitate to recommend him, specifically, and the clinic to others in search of neurological care.
