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.
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.

Dr Gunter and staff were super. They seemed to work very well together. Somehow my procedure was a joy if that's possible. I'm so grateful, I look forward to scheduling another colonoscopy with her again. She wasn't at all like the "Old Grump" I had last time. I truly believe she enjoys her work. Thanks again.

Prior to the procedure I watched an Emmi video on the colonoscopy procedure which was very detailed and informative. That made the whole process with Dr. Gunther quite easy. I felt really comfortable with her. If I have another procedure in a couple years, I hope Dr Gunther is still there and I recommend her to others if they need to have a colonoscopy.
