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.

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. Shawki and his whole team provided me such amazing care. They saved my life. They are caring, professional, discreet, honor privacy issues, and made me feel as if I were the only patient they were caring for. I feel so fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Shawki and his amazing team.

when I first called, I was told I could not be seen for 6 months. when I called back the next week, I was given an appt right away. we drove from Buffalo-over three hours. the doctor said my appt was made for the wrong person and he would refund my money (he didn't). they wanted me to drive back in two days to see another doctor. he wouldn't answer my questions at all. he told me he was a surgeon and I needed a doctor (?)the nurse, however was very nice. she helped me with some of my questions. I will not drive back to Cleveland again. the doctor poopoed my condition even after I told him that 3 doctors in Buffalo told me I was very sick and needed surgery. I am very disappointed in Cleveland Clinic. my other option was to go to The Mayo in Minnesota. guess I will have to call them.

I could not say enough wonderful things about Dr. Shawki. I came from South Carolina to see him after an unsuccessful surgery in my hometown. I was immediately at ease with Dr. Shawki as he listened to everything I had to say, did not rush me and was genuinely concerned for my well being. He inspires confidence and that was something I had been lacking. I feel divine intervention was at play.

Dr. Shawki was very thorough, giving me my options for future surgery. He made it clear I was the decision maker, while simultaneously evoking the feeling that we were a team no matter the decision and would see it through together.

Everything ran very smoothly and efficiently from the moment I arrived to my subsequent surgery two days later. All the nurses and doctors were very kind. The front office staff was nice but not very friendly at first.

Tom Kelly (company rep for the installed stimulator) is an excellent advocate for the stimulator and Dr. Shawki. Kelly is so helpful and kind when I or husband contacts him with a problem with the unit. He has been able to take care of all but one problem with the unit over the phone. That was this last visit I had to schedule because the unit could not be repaired over the phone. Dr Shawki and his office along with Kelly got everything fixed and is still working good. very good

Dr. Shawki couldn't have been any better. He explained everything in words that we could understand. He listened carefully to all of my questions and then answered them fully. I would recommend him to anyone who needs the kind of surgery that I did. We trust him completely.

at first the dr seemed very arrogant and not personable. but when talking and giving me his opinion he was straight forward and left me very upset and I left very confused on the outcome of appt. stilll debating on getting a second opinion. another dr at the clinic sent me to him and he ask why I was there and didn't agree with me going to him and said there is nothing he can do I need to live with my health getting worse. medically to date patients with my health have no treatment.

He entered the room upset already, therefore, he seated all the way back in his chair, and seemed like I was boring him with my medical problem.
