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 11/25/2019, Dr. Schwartz 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.

Doctors attitude could use more empathy and less condescending. When you're sick you seek a doctor and don't need to be made to feel worse going to one

I think everyone has a bad day sometimes but this was one of the worst experiences I have ever had with a medical professional. I very clearly was an inconvenience to him. he was rude, condescending and very hard to talk to. I do not feel as if he listened to me at all. He told me that the issue I am having is chronic (which is true) and is "probably just me". Instead of trying to work with me to find a trigger to the symptoms I'm experiencing he listened to me for 5 minutes and then promptly concluded that there was nothing to be done but take daily laxatives. The Doctor was gruff and very unpleasant, I would never reccomend him to anyone, and I dont think I will go see him again. I walked out of the office and cried as I drove home. I would also like to say he seemed pretty rude to the nurse as well. He barked at her and seemed pretty visibly annoyed with her.

My experience with Dr. Schwartz was very poor.

Dr Schwartz and staff provided outstanding care, instructions, and bedside manner. I am a retired medical professional and very alert to the running of a busy, multi patient procedure clinic - my experience was beyond positive from the beginning of making an appt - through the check in process, procedure, post op, discharge and administration of pathology report. Please give kudos to those involved with this entire screening and treating process......

doctor was very rude - dismissed all my concerns & told me to take a daily laxative when one of my complaints was diarrhea. didn't feel he took my concerns seriously and the only exam her performed was listening to my breathing. he did not even check my stomach (area where I complained of all of my issues). felt he was inefficient & ineffective. I will not be seeing this provider again & will look outside the Cleveland clinic network for a second opinion.

Dr. Shwartz is not very personable. He treats your case like just another number. He does not show empathy or discuss with you what your problem could be. Orders tests and then just puts the reulys in MyClinic. Doesn't give you clue of what could be causing this or what needs to be done. Youcant reply to MyClinic so your basically just left hanging.

It took six weeks to get on Dr. Shwartz schedule for my colonoscopy. That seemed a little long considering it was his office that had originally contacted me regarding the colonoscopy.

I had never seen this doctor before, but I need a new gastroenterologist since Dr. Yang retired. Not only was Dr. Schwartz not welcoming or concerned about me as a patient, but I felt like I was a bother to him! I have never been treated this way by a physician and I will not recommend this doctor to anyone.

I've been to plenty of doctors, but I don't know if I've ever felt quite so dismissed. There was no effort to explain what he thought the issue was. He acted like it was my fault that my history wasn't readily available for him to read, or that I couldn't remember what blood tests a former provider had ordered 5 years ago. He gave me a prescription and told me that I did not need to follow up. Then he shook my hand and sent me on my way.
