Industry Relationships

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 7/9/2024, Dr. Styskel 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. Click here to view a listing of instances where Cleveland Clinic has identified a Public Health Service (PHS)-Reportable Financial Conflict of Interest and has put measures in place to ensure that, to the extent possible, the design, conduct and reporting of the research is free from bias.

The earliest "follow-up" appointment available was 4 months later. This is not Dr. Styskel's fault, it's an on-going problem with Cleveland Clinic.

Wonderful - will see this doc again.

This was the first time that I saw Dr. Styskel for a colonoscopy and it was an emergency. He was kind, caring, thorough, and very respectful. He and his team made a very uncomfortable experience easier. The Cleveland Clinic is very fortunate to have Dr. Brett Styskel on their staff of GI Doctors. I would highly recommend him.

Reviewed on Feb 9, 2024

The doctor and nurses were all excellent in my mind. I felt very well cared for.

Reviewed on Feb 7, 2024

I have received excellent care from Dr. Styskel. For over a year, since the first EGD he performed, I no longer have the swallowing problems I did for at least five years. Plus, given the change in medication to the Omeprazole he prescribed, my recent EGD results were optimal. For that I am extremely grateful.
