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.

We really needed an in person visit but I came down with COVID and did not want to delay the stress test discussion any further. We clearly needed longer than the 30 minutes. Also, I sent attachments which were not accessible by the doctor.

The doctor was very friendly and put me at ease. So much information comes at you though, that it's difficult to absorb it all immediately. And it's always difficult to know what questions to ask at an initial appointment, although I don't know what the doctor can do to improve that.

Dr. Syed takes a minute to reflect, get his game plan together and then proceeds to discuss with you. He is not judgmental and is very kind. I feel that he listens to what I am saying. He tries to come up with alternatives to the issues.
