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 8/14/2022, Dr. Williamson has reported no financial relationship with industry that is applicable to this listing. 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.

Did not really interact w/young child well. Was aggravated he wouldn't sit still for her to look in his eyes (he's 1.5 y.o.)! Seemed annoyed my other child kept asking about her leg.

She had a bad attitude at the start of the appointment. Then she had us waiting over an hour with no real explanation of what was taking so long.

Dr Williamson was THE BEST! She explained everything in detail, she noticed when my daughter was overwhelmed and needed a break, and she was so very patient with her. I previously went to UPMC childrens and I did not feel heard, that is why I came to CC for a second opinion. I could not be happier with that second opinion. I feel we have a very aggressive treatment plan in place and I truly feel my daughters best interest is being considered.

She was so knowledgeable, kind, professional and wonderful with our twins! We will always go to this provider! So glad we found her! She is wonderful with children and our kids (who usually cried at the eye doctor) were comfortable, did not even cry when they got the eye drops that burned! She was amazing and we will always go to see Dr Williamson!
