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.

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.

Great experience. Dr took time and explained things in detail yet simple to understand.

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.

I want to provide feedback regarding Dr. C. Vlastaris during my recent appt. She was very concerned about my issue and provided a very understanding response. I felt comfortable discussing my problem with her and appreciated her sincere concerns for me. She should be commended for her above and beyond caring for her patients.

Dr. Vlastaris gives you her undivided attention. She gets to know her patients, asks about sick family members... And although the appt times is not long, when you leave, you feel like you were not rushed along, all questions answered, and you leave feeling like you are her only patient. She is not a robot.
