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 4/20/2021, Dr. Model 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.

I came for a second opinion. I am a nurse and the nurse who roomed me was not kind basically ask what I was there for if I already had a rheumatologist in Ft Wayne. she specifically said "So why are you here then" The Dr came in and I could barely here her and she acted like she was afraid to touch me and informed me I probably just have chronic pain. wasted 4 hour trip, I have heard amazing things about your clinic, it was just very disappointing and felt like they didn't want to help.

my first online dr visit. I had to reach out to the support team for help there should be a way of letting the patient know that the appt will be late not being familiar with the online visit I thought I was doing something incorrect because the computer screen had the spinning circle and I thought I wasn't connectedother than that it went well

The Dr made me feel like I was wasting her time. she started off the conversation but telling me that she didn't understand why I came. then she told me she didn't agree with what my 1st option Dr stated without even looking at me and told me I needed to see a different specialist. she said she would gladly look at me and by that she meant that she would send me for blood work. I was very disappointed with my appointment.
