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.

The staff (all) have been top notch! My mother has been in severe pain for months and just bounced from doctor to doctorER to ER with no one being able to identify the source of her paintherefore offer no reliefuntil Dr. Bingamon. He identified right away and offered a surgery to help give her relief. They were even able to schedule it within 2 weeks!! We drove almost 6 hours one waybut it was so well worth it!!! We are forever grateful for Dr. Bingamon and his staff at the Cleveland Clinic!!

Dr Bingamin was very considerate from the first visit up until I left the hospital following surgery.I was very anxious and frightened to have a spinal fusion but he was very kind in easing my fears. My appointments were on time as scheduled and Dr never made me feel rushed in any way. His staff is always available to speak with and the correspondence through My Chart was very promptly addressed. This Dr and the experience is the reason I always choose Cleveland Clinic over our local hospitals in Erie,.Pa.
