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.

Reviewed on Jul 2, 2024

Dr. Kevin Baier was an excellent surgeon. Previously I had a hernia repair done 1 year ago and had all kinds of problems with drainage from wound and incision re-opening and never healing having to wear wound vac. Continually seeing the wound center. Everyone saying it will heal everyone heals at their own pace. I knew there a problem but everyone said it will be fine. I was recommended to see Dr Baier and he told me I needed another surgery to fix everything. He did the surgery and everything is healing wonderful within a month. I will recommend him to everyone that I know that needs surfgery, or if I need surgery again I will go to see him.

Honestly there are two reasons I continue to use the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Baier is one of them! I feel like he genuinely cares about his patients and thier health. Dr. Baier takes the time to listen to my concerns, then coming up with a solution. I had lost all faith in the Cleveland Clinics ability to care for me. After being referred to Dr. Baier I feel confident about having this surgery once again! A sincere thank you to Dr. Baier and his incredible staff.
