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.

Dr. Rampazzo is the kindest, most thoughtful, and most caring doctor I've ever had. He has my full trust. He is amazingly humble given how brilliant he is. I would recommend him fully!

Dr. Rampazzo was amazing from start to finish. I was experiencing anxiety related to my procedure and each time I left his office I left feeling more confident, informed and at ease about the coming procedure. He took his time, explained things thoroughly, and intuitively put my mind at ease. At this point in my healing, the outcome of the procedure has exceeded my expectation with less pain than anticipated. Very happy with the care I received from Dr. Rampazzo and the Cleveland Clinic!

I very highly recommend Dr. Rampazzo. He Is both an expert and a doctor who really listens, very caring and very knowledgeable. He meets the patient where they are. He is not rushed but is calm and kind and works to problem solve issues in the patient's particular best interests. (He does not approach the patient with a cookie cutter formulaic response.) His bedside manner and ability to ask cogent questions demonstrate both strong expertise and an open, caring disposition and are a model for all nurses and doctors to learn from and follow.
