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 9/7/2024, Dr. Hernandez has reported the financial relationships with the companies listed below. 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.

Dr. Ricardo Hernandez really took time to answer all my questions, and I saw he was really concerned that I was taking unnecessary medications and upon checking my pacemaker device history he lowered my meds to 3 from 5 originally. I am glad I had this appointment.

Once introductions were completed I began explaining what I was going through. He listened and seemed to carefully document my explanation but failed to demonstrate any concern for my wellbeing or offer any assistance in finding out what I needed at that moment. He sat with his back to us the entire visit while typing. I was not asked any questions, ask to clarify any points, he showed zero empathy or concern about me and my life. Demonstrated no effort to assist me other than adjusting my medication and referred me to another doctor. With the severity of my symptoms he showed no concern for me or attempted to get me in to see someone sooner than 3 months away. When I started crying he ended the appointment and left the room. A few days after the visit I had a long bout of daily sincope that severely injured me and caused me to be bed ridden for 3 weeks. If he had helped me I may not have had to endure another violent and life threatening episode.
