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 Chaabon gives excellent care and goes over and above sinus treatment. He made sure that I was cardiac evaluated and checked by an infection specialist last Summer. This last visit, he sent me to an Opthomologist for treatment of Dacryocystitis of the right eye. Since I was diagnosed as IGA deficient last Summer, all infections must be adequately diagnosed and treated with antibiotics. I am very grateful for all his care and treatments
