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.

Other than the more than 1 hour wait between seeing his intern and seeing the doctor for about 5 minutes, it was a good experience. I know doctors offices can get backed up for various and often very good reasons, but an hour without anybody saying anything to us seems excessive. Nonetheless, I look forward to working with Dr. Kaouk and trust his judgment.

We were at the clinic literally six and a half hours. We had a letter informing us our mri and caravans were sent to the clinic. They could not be found. We did have them in the car in the parking deck which took a half hour to retrieve so we had to wait all over again. Our appointment was at 10, finally at 3:30 I had had enough and opened the door and asked the nurse for my discs that we were leaving. The doctor finally came in five minutes after that point. Because of all the waiting 1 1/2 hours first time just to get in, no scans, and waiting another hour to get in again, then the waiting in the room for hours, it cost $10 for parking. Insane.
