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 6/13/2021, Dr. Bambakidis 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.

This was my second visit with my doctor who was referred to me by my family doctor. He was just as thorough as he was at my first visit. Concerned with any new symptoms I may be experiencing and let me decide if I felt I needed any kind of prescription. I will let him know at my next six month appt. He told me to call him right away if I was having any new kinds of issues. Very patient and thorough with my concerns. I would recommend him if someone asked me.

I enjoy working with Dr. B. Very knowledgable and patient with me, very accommodating and is frank which I appreciate.
Reviewed on Jul 15, 2021
Dr B would not communicate with me through MyChart. He ordered tests which I had completed, and I messaged stating that if there are any others, please order them. He requested I come in, then when I came in, he asked why I was there to see him. He then ordered another test, and sent me on my way. I feel it was not a good use of either of our time and wholly unnecessary for me to come in for something that could've just been communicated via MyChart.
