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.

Dr. Patterson not only did nothing to help me, but seemed to make a decision on my condition by watching me walk a very short distance, but not listening to a word I said. After driving 3 1/2 hours (one way) and hearing how great Cleveland Clinic is, I was shocked! He didn't address my main complaint, then went on to recommend that I should take 2 drugs that I can't take due to other meds I am on, then recommended 2-3 drugs that I already take - obviously didn't pay any attention to my chart! I really don't think he cared at all how well I faired. Not what I expected or we hoped for. I am in severe pain, in my knee from a tkr in January 2018! All that Dr Patterson would talk about was why my tibia hurts, both of them hurt, so he is wrong anyways. I really need help. He said it would be another year or two of pain. I can't live in this pain, which is getting worse constantly, for that much longer!
