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.

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.

I didn't think we were going to be abel to get an appointment. My husband is disabled and needs me to be in the appointment with him so I can tell the Dr. what is going on and so I know what the plan of care is going forward. My concern was what we were going to do with our daughter during the appointment. She is 4 so I can't leave her in the car. Due to COVID her school is closed, and I can't take her to her grandparents for the same reason. At first the office was not going to let me bring her due to COVID. But they found a way to allow us to bring our daughter but still keep everyone safe and within the COVID safety standards. The office really went above and beyond to make sure my husband could be seen but still keep us all safe. It was GREATLY appreciated!!

My experience with *Dr. Cannatti was the BEST - he saved my life! Almost 10 years ago. When he dilated my eyes, he saw a tumor on the optic nerve. In three days, the non-malignant tumor was out. The eye over-corrected, now I have 100 visit in that eye and at 90 years old am enjoying life. Thanks to him, and my good Lord. #1. Provider for me as a person.

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.
