Industry Relationships
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.
As of 9/7/2021, Dr. See has reported no financial relationship with industry that is applicable to this listing. In general, patients should feel free to contact their doctor about any of the relationships and how the relationships are overseen by Cleveland Clinic.

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 See is a great physician, and takes good care of my eyesI wish he had office hours at the Greene location so he could continue my care. Distance is a challenge so I will be back in the care of Dr Jeffrey Congeni who is local, and familiar with my care. I'm sure they will collaborate, and am confident that I will get the best care possible. I highly recommend Dr Craig See to anyone needing his expertise in Ophthalmological Care.

There is a long wait to get an appointment to see a doctor and an even longer time to get an appointment for the surgeries (4 months).
Reviewed on Sep 3, 2021
Dr. See and other professionals in the Cole Eye Institute were exceptional. The only reason I didn't rate item 4 as high is that while the date of the partial corona transplant was scheduled 3 months in advance, I could not be informed as to the time of the procedure until the day before the actual,time of the surGery. For an out of town patient, this meant arriving in Cleveland a day in advance to ensure that I would be available in the scheduled time slot.
