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.

The provider had some audio issues on his end, had a dog barking loudly in the background. I found that to be Very unprofessional. He seemed stoic and going through the motions just to get off the virtual visit. The only good thing he did was to prescribe medication to help with my symptoms. By far the worst provider I've seen in years.
