Industry Relationships

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 7/3/2023, Dr. Richards 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.

* Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists subscribe to the guidance presented in the PhRMA Code on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals and the AdvaMed Code of Ethics on Interactions with Health Care Professionals. As such, gifts of substantial value are generally prohibited.

She was not personable. She didn't show and interest in the issues I was telling her I was having. She just typed some stuff down and told me what to do. I have never been treated like this by any other doctor. Neither my husband or I were pleased with her.

Dr Richards was quite delightful.

My experience with Dr. Richards was excellent. She listened intently and actively. She was exceptionally friendly and on time. She explained everything and seemed genuinely interested in my care and treatment. As a physician myself, I can say that my visit to Cleveland Clinic exceeded my expectations as did Dr. Richards.

Dr.Richards had obviously not been briefed as to why I was before her on the 23rd of August. When I advised her as to why I was there, she immediately said to me, " Charcot foot" is not in my wheel house!!! She went on to say that she was a "neurologist" and that she didn't treat my condition. I would have presumed under normal circumstances, that once she indicated she new nothing about my condition, that the interview would have been over. Instead, she launched into what I would consider to be a neurological exam which lasted 15 minutes or more. At one point she even Indicated that she wanted to draw blood from me!! I declined the blood draw and eventually the exam was over. The doctor never once Indicated to whom I should see at the clinic for my condition?? I am presuming that I will be "billed" for this service and If so, I don't feel that Dr. Richards Is ethically right to do so!!! My sister was present with me during this time and can/will attest to the veracity of my story if need be!!
