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.

Dr. Jackie is absolutely amazing! My daughter looks forward to her appointments and she has been so helpful during the OIT process. We had a bumpy road getting to the maintenance level but Dr. Jackie was so supportive and patient with us. Now after 2 years, she is showing no signs of sensitivity to her allergens and we are getting ready for our food challenge. I am so thankful for everything Dr. Jackie has done for our family.

I recommend Dr Bjelac to everyone I meet that has a child with food allergies. She is doing top of the line work with OIT. She is giving options to help things get better for people with food allergies. I feel like she talks to us as her friends and is really relatable. She really cares about your child and your concerns. She takes time to listen and doesn't rush you. If I listen all of the qualities I would want in a doctor she exceeds all expectations!

She was able to give us quick and clear information to follow to support our son with allergies. Seeing this doctor eased our minds a great deal.

The process was seamless from the professional who checked us in and put us in the room. Then the resident followed. Dr. Bjelic then came in. She takes the time to answer all questions. She just does a great job treating our teenage boy with respect, answering his questions, and providing answers as well as sound advice in a way that is not talking down to him, but right at his level. He appreciates her visits, and she is one of his favorite doctors.
