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.

It seemed Dr. Singh wanted to "protect" me from the reality of procedures and/or treatment. For me, (I can't speak for all patients) I want to know both the benefits AND RISKS of a procedure or treatment. I want to know exactly what I'm in for, what to expect with NO SURPRISES. Downplaying risks is not acceptable to me and feels like i'm being "talked into" something to minimize my concerns even though a procedure or treatment could possibly impact my quality of life
