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 9/26/2019, Dr. Cannatti, Jr. 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. Cannatti is great. He takes time explaining what going on and if any problems going to occur, he surely let you know what you need to do to help him take care of the problems. I have recommended people to the facility and to Dr. Cannatti. And they are now patients of his.

Dr Canetti was great as usual. I've been seeing him for years. Since Cleveland Clinic has taken over though I see that he is missing an assistant to enter his info about me into the computer. He even had to re-enter my med list. What a waste of time for the Doctor and myself. He used to have an assistant to verify my condition before it was entered into my computerized records. Seems like there were plenty of workers around. I even had to wait to get checked out for my next appointment. Doctor walked me to exit desk. His valuable time is being waisted.

Jackie, at Reception, was extrmely pleasant, cordial and helpful in putting us at ease and scheduling my appointment, which was important to me as this was my very first eye exam.
