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.

I have had 2 virtual visits with this provider. First visit, there was little explanation of what the concerns and testing was looking for.. Minimal feedback on test results. Second virtual visit was much better and provider explained diagnosis and treatment options in good detail. Provider missing empathy but seemed to correct on the second virtual visit however patient insisted on the second virtual visit as provider wanted to wait until all results were in however waiting would have been months without any conversations related to critical diagnosis.

First morning appointment. Appeared as doc did not want to be there ..heard her complain to staff about being called in. She did not discuss a treatment plan nor address my right quadrant pain. Dismissing it stating that the liver does not produce pain. My Pain is real. She was very dismissive of my symptoms. Sending us back to GP to have further testing without any check If could b done at C clinic. This was not doctor I requested as we were very interested in study involving potential surgical removal of fibrosis areas to facilitate recovery of liver functionality. Not happy at all. No blood test only a Fiber scan

My visit with Dr. Laique was wonderful. She was thorough in her explanations of the concerns that initiated my referral to her, as well as the proposed treatment plan.
