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 10/18/2021, Dr. Whitmer 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.

I didn't feel like Dr. Witmer and I clicked. - that happens sometimes. personalities don't always mesh. I have a friend who just loves her, but I didn't feel that comfort level. Actually I would probably switch doctors but I want to give her one more chance. Maybe it will be better the next time. This was my first visit with her and actually it was to see if I thought she and I would be a good fit. I am not sure that's going to happen but maybe I will be surprised. I felt like she thought I was lying about everything and she had already formed an opinion about me they said the way I looked.

what I like about Dr whitmere she listens you both together discuss the best direction for your medication and she doesn't just doesn't talk at you she talks to you and if she doesn't understand what you're trying to say she tries to help come to a conclusion of understanding to make things better

since there was nothing serious and it was just a follow-up appointment the comfortableness of being able to be at home and talk to your doctor face to face was great and it helps you to be more open and explain things and better detail than being in the doctor's office understanding that sometimes you need to go to the office to be examined for blood work etc
