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 12/2/2022, Dr. Spivak 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.

There was no explanation of what by problems were. She did explain a couple of conditions. I would have liked more detailed explanations of the issues. I was given an option for pelvic floor therapy but that was it. I was very frustrated that they did not give me time for questions and concerns. I was also frustrated that she kept firing questions at me while Dr. Wallace was examining me. That was stressful.

I'm so thankful for Dr Spivak and her team. She works well with my colorectal surgeon and GI specialist to cohesively come up with a plan to resolve my medical issues. I have the best trio of specialists and makes me feel more confident about my ongoing care. She was also able to speak to my husband during this video chat so he could assist with care. Priceless technology!

Dr. Spivak made me feel completely comfortable in issues that can be embarrassing. I was referred by another colorectal surgeon to go see her. She knew exactly what I had and further tests that needed to be done. She has given me multiple options to help my symptoms and I am very grateful for that. She spent over an hour going over my symptoms and explaining the issues with great details. I have always been scared of this issue, but she gave me the encouragement to get further testing and to help relieve my symptoms. I am grateful to have her expertise.
