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.

Dr Advani is the best

Dr Avani, was the most caring, and open to talk through every detail of my previous experience while talking about the possibilities of the future while being honest about my prognosis and the progression of the type of cancer I have. I have heard so many great things about her and now I can concur they are all correct. I was baffled when she took her time to call my primary hospital UH and get me scheduled for an urgent platelet transfusion. She called twice and waited on and off hold 3 times. I wouldn't have done this for myself. She Is something special and the Cleveland Clinic should be grateful to have her. She even called me that evening to confirm I received the platelets and also tell me about a possible trial that she wasn't leading but felt It was a promising option. It hadn't even been 8 hours from our original discussion. I'm so grateful to have met her.
