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 1/15/2024, Dr. Khabbaza has reported the financial relationships with the companies listed below. 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.

Dr. Khabbaza is an excellent doctor and I credit him greatly for his care during my time in Marymount Hospital when COVID attacked my lungs 4 years ago. Dr. Khabbaza is still taking care of me if problems come up with my breathing. When I come to his offices on Rockside Road, I usually go upstairs for a breathing test.The medical people in the Lab upstairs are kind and VERY helpful during a breathing test and I usually have my results from Dr. Khabbaza before the day ends.

Dr. Khabbaza is an exceptional doctor. He strives to make his patients comfortable and clearly reviews test results and their meaning in easy to understand terminology. He suggested a blood test and an appointment with a vascular specialist. He walked me down to the lab to schedule both appointments during my visit. He contacted me within 24 hours of my lab results via email. I asked a follow up question and he promptly replied to that one as well. After having a bad experience with a hematologist a couple of months ago (he arrived in the building 20 minutes after my appointment time and then spent less than 10 minutes with me), this was a much appreciated experience.
