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.

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.

We chose Dr. Salgado because we determined him to be an exceptional neurologist and, therefore, requested that my husband see Dr. Salgado specifically. We were told that Dr. Salgado spent a long time with nearly every patient. That was something we appreciated and thought to be as good thing. It definitely was a good thing as he spent a considerable amount of time with us, too. We did not mind the wait.

I appreciate the time my Dr. takes with me when we do meet, so I will wait for him because I know he is taking the time with his other patients to get all their information and do right by them. Another patient was in the waiting room for him also and we both agree..We will wait for him. He is worth it. Always comes in with a big smile and we begin.

Usually the wait time at Cleveland Clinic is short, but on this visit it took longer than normal. Dr. Salgao did take his time with me, so I can understand the delay in wait time if he affords all his patients the same attention.

Dr. Salgado was more interested to go away than give me more attention to my health issue.

Dr. Salgado was terrific. After dealing with the initial reason for the visit, he took time to discuss and review two of my other health care concerns (migraines, high blood pressure). If needed, I would certainly schedule any follow-ups with Dr. Salgado.

I had several concerns I had dealt with my neurologist when I lived in Indianapolis and Dr. Selgado took care of setting up appointments with other specialists I needed to see. So very helpful. Almost as though he read my list of questions! Kudos. Very caring, helpful, and personable.
