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.

She gave me a brochure in December about a condition in my genital area which flares up. It was from the Dermatologist Association but she suggested I see a gynecologist despite what the brochure said. She explained that she does not treat the condition and had no stirrups on the exam table (which I did not think was needed). She could not suggest another dermatologist in the CCF system!!

She rushed through my skin exam and questions. I felt like she wasn't actually looking at all my areas of concern.

Reviewed on Feb 28, 2024

Dr. Vlastaris seemed very rushed in both her derm body exam and in general. She made her diagnosis based on the problem areas I showed her and she absolutely provided information on her planned treatment and its likely effects. There was some wait time (a couple days) for a prescription to get to the pharmacy and for a return reply to a follow up question I asked. I'm sure she's a fine doctor but with perhaps too many patients on her schedule.
