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.

As of 7/9/2024, Dr. Dapul has reported the financial relationships with the companies listed below. In general, patients should feel free to contact their doctor about any of the relationships and how the relationships are overseen by Cleveland Clinic.

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.

I tried making the appt. Thru My chart. After a while received a call and said I had to make the appt.direct with office. I called they said someone would call back. I waited over a week and recalled. Someone said it takes 7 to 10 business days. I said why so long? She said "they have to read your chart"l in a snippy voice. No one ever called. 2 weeks later I sent a message directly to the doctor. She messaged back that she would get me in before I was taking a trip to Portugal and needed a cortisone shot to help with ambulation, and she did. It toook over a month to get a reply for something that time was important before a big vacation trip.

One of the best experiences I have had at the Clinic. It was a little ragged pining down an appointment time, but a woman named Ann who assists Dr Dupal worked it out for me, and Dr. Dupal is a terrific person and an excellent physician.

My visit was originally set up as a video visit. When I went to sign on about 15 minutes before the visit, I saw it was in Cleveland (I live in PA). I called Dr. Dapul's office. I was told someone changed it from video to in person that morning. They didn't know why. They were able to reset the appointment to video but it wiped out all the questionnaires and the payment I made. I had the quickly try to bypass all of that to start the appointment. I was more than flustered when the appointment started.
