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 10/9/2022, Dr. Petkovsek 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.

I was assigned to another eye hospital in the area and felt very uncomfortable in regards to speaking of laser surgery and not fully explaining options available. Cole Eye Center was for a second opinion and because of the thorough process of explaining my situation and that surgery wasn't necessary, I am confident I am being cared for at the best place.My doctor fully and effectively determined what was needed and in laymen's terms where I was able to understand. He is awesome!

I made an appointment at the Cole Eye Institute at the Clinic after my regular ophthalmologist kind of threw up his hands when he didn't know why I had vision loss. Dr. Petkovsek understood the importance of preventing vision loss and gave me a thorough eye exam, a diagnosis, and a treatment plan.

Dr. Petkovsek was wonderful with my father. He was beyond professional, more than thorough. He helped us to understand the disease process affecting my father, our options and why he recommends the course of action he choose. But most touching was that he acknowledged my father as the patient and human being. He cupped my dads hand and reassured him that the goal was to save as much vision as he could. He ended our encounter with a human touch and let my father know he wasn't alone. None of his previous providers showed this. He was a class act from beginning to end.
