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 1/2/2024, Dr. Sastry 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.

Even though he is extremely busy the doctor was very responsive to any questions I had.

Reviewed on Jan 25, 2024

On the whole my experience at the clinic has been VERY POSITIVE. However, more doctors are needed as the wait can be too long and the doctor, altho professional and attentive, appears rushed and needing to move on quickly to another patient.

Reviewed on Jan 19, 2024

I was very happy with the care and treatment from Dr. Sastry. However, I would like to know why the Cleveland Clinic stopped doing surgeries at the Avon clinic. The last time I had this procedure done, it was in Avon, and it was much less stressful than wandering around the various buildings of the Cleveland Clinic in the Village of "Cleveland Clinic" in the city of Cleveland. I'm not trying to be jocular (good word). Ten bucks for parking? Is this the reason?

Dr. Sastry has been awesome for me this far. I had another doctor tell me my eyes were "just gonna need time and that I need to control my sugars" when in reality, I have macular edema and retinopathy in both of my eyes that need treatment. Dr. Sastry has been an appropriate amount of aggressive with treatment and has been doing everything he can to help me with my vision issues while also making the treatments comfortable for me.
