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 12/27/2023, Dr. Brennecke 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.

The best Doctor patient interaction I've ever had.

Reviewed on Jun 6, 2024

I had an in-person evaluation on 3 Jun. The visit involved the DR to touch and move body part for evaluation. As well as asking questions while examining me. It was nice to have the video chat instead of just a phone call about the diagnosis of the exam. It should be done days after and not weeks of month after the visit. Unless research is needed in which at least a message saying working on it. But the the Zoom call was great.

I do not typically write reviews. But I felt I would be doing an injustice not to give my input from my experience with Dr Nicholas Brennecke. He was the most caring doctor I have ever had. It was the best experience I have ever had with ANY care provider in my entire life. Doctor Brennecke was extremely kind and caring, patient, willing to listen, explain everything until I understood, extremely knowledgeable on every question I had, listened to my concerns and answered all of them, and much more. I can not put into words how great of an experience I had with him. He treated me with the utmost care and respect. Thank you so much Doctor for everything!

If I could give a number higher than 5, I would. He is an excellent dr, and I brag about him to everyone when I tell my medical journey. Without Dr. Brennecke listening, having me do more test, his research above and beyond I believe I would have been in a wheelchair or bedridden last year. He listens and explains any questions and concerns we have or had.
