Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit.

As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.

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.

I don't feel that the provider reviewed my chart sufficiently enough before meeting with me. His initial suggestion for a potential "solution" to my problem was not realistic. I left the appointment feeling a little defeated.
