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.

I have always found Dr Kominsky to be very caring and she has always asked me what my thoughts and opinions were. At this point in everything that's going on with me, I am leaning toward homeopathic. Dr. Kominsky has always been very open and extremely helpful with me trying to get to the bottom of why I feel the way that I do. And that is one reason why I will always keep her as my primary for as long as I can get out to Willoughby Hills as I now live in Berea. She is one doctor that I do not want to give up.

My ONLY issue with the Clinic (not including Dr. Kominsky or any of my doctors) is waiting so long to get through to my doctors. Twice I drive from my home in Concord because I got tired of waiting. Twice I've hung up after a 45 mi Ute wait. I hope you find a way to improve or add phone lines.

I have referred Dr. Kominsky to friends. She is wonderful. However sometimes she has to go a little bit more quickly and I do understand that. I know I can refer to her notes but at my age a bit slower works a bit better for me.
