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 7/8/2024, Dr. Hykes has reported the financial relationships with the companies listed below. 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.

We were very happy with our experience. Dr. Hykes and staff were very caring and processional. My husband is recovering from a stroke and has been suffering with hiccups, nausea, and vomiting since 8/31/24. Dr. Hykes took time to listen to our concerns and seemed confident in the treatment going forward. It's only been a few days but my husband is feeling better. Definitely a good experience

Dr. Hykes was just what a doctor should be. He listened very carefully to all my symptoms and came up with a very logical plan that I'm following and I'm feeling so much better. I will see him again in a few weeks as a follow up and very happy to report back to him that with his help-I'm doing so well. Wish all the CCF docs were this easy to relay medical problems to.

Dr Hykes came in before the procedure to introduce himself & explain procedure & why I was delayed so long. He appologized too. The only thing I did not like was that he did not call my wife or come in after the procedure to say how the procedure went. He did a very nice written summary & description with pictures for me at discharge.
