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 1/30/2020, Dr. Daoud 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.

my wife's and I visit with the doctor was so terrible we were making a formal complaint before we left the parking lot. we made a ten hour round trip drive to spend six minutes with a doctor who never considered me a patient. he jumped to conclusions before meeting me, and dismissed six months of test without spending five minuets looking any report or actual imaging. there is no doubt dr dowd had to spend twice as long typing up a report than he did actually discussing anything medical with us.

contradictory info. 1st visit he suggested a couple visits for physical therapy. the physical therapist explained I needed more therapy. Dr. Daoud was annoyed and finished quickly. I explained what I'm using for physical therapy. he didn't give much confidence in my plan.

Seemed rushed the whole time and ultimately had to refer me out for treatment. I feel like pain doctors in general seem depressed and unwilling to connect emotionally in any way to patients. I wish the pain management team would treat peripheral nerve problems, but I had to go to Nevada to find treatment.

I would highly recommend Dr. Daoud. He has been a tremendous asset in helping me to understand and manage my condition. He listens attentively to my questions and concerns and offers options, then respects my choices. I feel comfortable working with him to handle my pain.

Dr Daoud always takes the time to listen to me and answer all my MANY questions. I appreciate that very much, especially since we find ourselves in a digital age instead of the old days of doctors sitting with the patient instead of behind a computer. I feel comfortable sharing my concerns because he makes me feel that he is concerned and is listening to me.
