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.

Once I inquired as to the reason for the extensive wait, I was told the x-ray technician was backed up, which created a wait of 60 minutes before I saw the x-ray technician. When I did see Dr. Tejpar, she was wonderful and explained the course of action.

I cannot express the relief felt after this appointment. Having a provider who not only listens but is also able to communicate effectively and explain the exact follow-up regimen to ensure the most effective way to treat the injury so that I may resume regular activities was wonderful. In addition both my physician as well as her P.A. were friendly, compassionate and had terrific bedside manners. There is nothing that could be improved upon in my opinion based on this particular visit.

Provider left the room, someone else came in did not introduce themselves, just told me the doctor wanted me to make an appointment with on of the doctors and gave me two business cards. The person left the room with the door wide open, I was still in the examination shorts. I got up, closed the door, dressed and went to the appointment desk, the doctor never came back . She provided no information or instructions before she left the room. This has never happened to me before I was surprised and disappointed. My care and interactions with the providers and staff have been more than expected and excellent.
