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. Cannatti is extremely knowledgeable but gruff and often rude. Seems rushed. When he answers questions the answers are quite helpful. However, it's difficult to pose a question. He interrupts and doesn't seem interested in patients.,Debating whether to trust him with my cataract surgery.

I've been a patient of Dr. Cannatti for many years and have always received excellent care from him and his entire staff. I would also like to add that I like Cleveland Clinic's system of providing my health information to each doctor in the system that I see - very efficient as well as being beneficial to me as a patient.

The eye doctor (Dr Cannati) has always been very patient with me. This last appointment he was in a hurry to get out of the office. Needless to say, he put drops in my eyes before I left, which he has never done before. I had a severe reaction to them and had to see an associate the next day who prescribed prescription drops for five days. I will no longer make an appointment with Dr Cannati. He beat me out of the office door!
