Industry Relationships

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.

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. Click here to view a listing of instances where Cleveland Clinic has identified a Public Health Service (PHS)-Reportable Financial Conflict of Interest and has put measures in place to ensure that, to the extent possible, the design, conduct and reporting of the research is free from bias.

This appointment was for a second opinion when my symptoms had not improved- as I felt the neurologist I had seen before (with ProMedica) didn't listen to me and didn't seem to care. This being said, I very much appreciated the time that Dr. Claytor took with me- he did a full assessment- probably spent 45 minutes with me overall. Most importantly he listened to me- he specifically told me that he has access to my medical record but didn't read the other providers' notes as he wanted to hear what I had to say and make his own conclusions. I loved this. I also liked that he asked me which of my symptoms bothered me the most and what I understood about what was going on with me. At the conclusion of my appointment, Dr. Clayton took time to research how one of the medications I take could be causing some of my symptoms. I'm very glad I decided to see Dr. Claytor for piece of mind. He does a great job!

Dr. Claytor is amazing and has helped me manage my POTS symptoms enough to be able to attend med school which I would not have been able to prior to seeing him due to how bad my symptoms were. Dr. Wilson's video visits regarding POTS are also helpful! It's nice to meet people who are going through this too

Dr. Benjamin Claytor was so very kind, thorough, compassionate and explained my ALS diagnosis in depth including medications and treatment most promising at this time. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the time he took in my appointment. I also had a few follow up questions and called the next day and he personally called me back and answered everything. He is an amazing neurologist who I would highly recommend to everyone.
