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.

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.

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?
