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 11/20/2018, Dr. Krpata 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.

They were very busy. Checked in at 1250p for a 130p appt. was taken to treatment room at 1410 and saw Doctor at 1520 hours. Long wait but worth it to see Dr. Krapata

Dr. Krpata, is top notch! From the time I met him I'm knew that I was in very competent and safe hands. His bed side manner is impeccable and you are never left not knowing his plan of action.

I was only in the waiting room for about 3 minutes before being called back to the exam room. Once there, I waited about 4 minutes while filling out a survey for the student Doctor to arrive and ask me general questions about my recovery from surgery and general health. Then, I waited about 2 minutes after this Doctor left before Dr. Krpata entered with a friendly, positive attitude, and a genuine smile on his face.

I checked in early and I was seen before my appointment time. Dr. Krpata had ordered a CT scan before my appointment, he had the results and discussed them with me, his assistant, his nurse Micheal and the nurse Misty who checked me in were so nice and efficient. Best experience for an appointment that I have ever experienced.

The Cleveland Clinic is about 5 hours from my home in West Virginia but it is definitely worth the drive. The doctors and staff are always friendly and helpful. They always treat me with respect and I believe that they care about my well being. I was particularly pleased with my dealings with Dr. Krpata's assistant Gloria on the phone, she took care of any problem or question that I had efficiently and she was so friendly I could practically see her smiling face through the phone. I hope to never need another surgery but if I do Cleveland Clinic would definitely be a hospital I would trust to take care of me.
