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.

Dr. Vij was cold and very business like. She also had a student with her, who she said would only be observing. Then during the procedure, she was instructing him to do things - grab this, etc. I did not consent to a student participating in my procedure.

I really liked this provider she told me details about my diagnosis and made excellent recommendations. I was fully clear of what's going on and what I need to do next
Reviewed on Apr 7, 2023
Dr. Vij did a fine job, described everything. Just seemed curt. Like in a hurry, came off as having little regard for the sensitivity of the area being operated on and I had some sharp pain on the first side. I know docs get used to just getting things done and maybe the pain influenced my perception.
