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.

Even though it is costly for me to travel to the Cleveland Clinic the entire experience was great. Please note that the Mayo Clinic is only 80 miles away from where I live so that gives you a little idea that I came to Cleveland Clinic instead of Mayo because of my understanding that the Cleveland Clinic was the best provider for cardiac care. The care was excellent!

Dr Samir Kapadia treated us with respect. He is the best physician in his field of Interventional cardiology . He offered different options in treatment. He explained why he would choose one kind of coronary stent in my case compared to other stents. The procedure went well and there were no complications. He explained everything to my family and me. He gave details about waist size and coronary artery disease and need to reduce food intake. In summary, Dr Samir Kapadia provided exceptional patient care.
