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.

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. Patterson is the consummate professional, with top notch expertise and excellent bedside manner. I feel privileged that the department chair was available and willing to perform my total knee replacement. He had also repaired my bi-malleolar ankle fracture 5 years ago.

For the first time coming to Cleveland Clinic I can't imagine everyone being any nicer. Dr B Patterson could have not have been more sympathetic to my injury and willing to get me in as soon as as possible. Though it's 4-1/2 hours away it is so worth it

Dr. Patterson was so explicit on explaining what would have to be done due to my car accident. I would have been high risk for infection because of all the hardware in me. I thank him for his honesty. He was awesome.

Dr. Patterson was wonderful. He explained everything thoroughly and answered any questions I had. His nurse was kind but giving instructions she was a little abrupt. I felt like she was accusing me of not taking care of my injury.
