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 8/6/2024, Dr. Butt 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.

For realz, I NEVER mark all 5's ("very good") on any survey, but Dr. B -- during this appointment & prior -- gets an A+ here. Of course, most doctors *care* to some degree, but this surgery prep process feels particularly personal. It's not like he's installing a carburator, he's fixing ME -- & I hear that in our communications.

I dealt with a succession of specialist regarding problems with my back. Everyone involved took great care in making sure I was scheduled for each session in the appropriate sequence from the pain management specialist, through physical therapy, a spinal injection to manage pain during diagnosis and finally through the neurologist to Dr. Butt the surgeon.

Reviewed on Dec 31, 2024

Br. Butt was extremely patient, and his demeanor during explanation of my test results was very calming and reassuring. He had clearly familiarized himself with all aspects of my condition, and explained the results of testing in layman's terms I could easily comprehend. He was always willing to stop to answer questions and provided what I thought was a thorough analysis of my problems and real expectations if intervention was undertaken. I felt confident that I was fully informed to make decisions on any further treatment. He did not push for any particular treatment, but discussed all alternatives and what he thought would be the results of each. I felt treated as a person instead of just a case.

Reviewed on Dec 23, 2024

Dr. Butt actually saw me a second time in the same day/visit after I had a CT scan done. I was very impressed with him and all the staff who went out of their way to make sure all of my questions were answered and tests got done before I left the hospital in one day.

Reviewed on Dec 23, 2024

I was able to have a CT scan completed immediately after my initial appointment with Dr. Butt. This allowed me to talk to him again during the same visit to set a course of action for my treatment.
