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.

We will likely not be seeing Dr. Williams again. She passed off the continuing lab work orders to the PCP at the home. She did not seem interested in following up to ensure that the CHF does not get any worse. I don't see what good any future visits with her would do.

Dr. Preethi William is an excellent cardiologist. She is very thorough, has a fantastic bedside manner, takes all the time you need to answer questions and/or address concerns, and is extremely professional yet very easy to talk to. She is the best! I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a cardiologist!

Being old-fashioned, I still prefer in-person visits with a doctor. However, Dr. William took plenty of time with me and addressed all of my health questions and concerns regardless of it being a virtual appointment. It took a while before I was referred to Dr. William, but once I was, she knew exactly what she needed to do for me: which tests to run and prescribed medications and a referral to the Chronic Care Unit.
