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.

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.

I am blessed to have Dr. Paula Escobar as my breast surgeon. She is compassionate, professional, and explains everything in great detail. She reviewed with me the results of my recent tests, and then reviewed the plan of care for my upcoming surgery, including how long surgery would be, how long she anticipated I would be in recovery, and the approximate time I would be released to go home. She answered all of my questions and made me feel completely at ease for my upcoming surgery. Dr. Escobar Is the epitome of "world class care."
