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. Dao is amazing! This was my first in person visit with her as my new primary since I live 4 hours away. She was already familiar with my chart so there was no need to re-explain everything to her. She was kind, listened to everything, responded clearly and with detail, and I never felt rushed to finish. She took her time and stayed long enough to help me plan my care and I never felt like she was half-listening and thinking about how she needed to get to her next patient which I really appreciated as I have complex health needs. I really like her and she informed me that she is leaving the Cleveland clinic soon and I must say how sad I will be to see her go!
