Industry Relationships
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.
As of 8/10/2018, Dr. Zachary has reported no financial relationship with industry that is applicable to this listing. In general, patients should feel free to contact their doctor about any of the relationships and how the relationships are overseen by Cleveland Clinic.

Public Health Service-Reportable Financial Conflicts of Interest. 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. Interactions with industry are essential to bringing the researchers' discoveries to the public, but can present the potential for conflicts of interest related to their research activities.

Dr. Zachary always gives a thorough and complete explanation as to the current problem and develops a plan to deal with the circumstance. As a patient you leave with a much better understanding as well as what options may be available to improve the situation.

I have recommended Dr. Zachary to several of my friends and brother. He always makes you feel you have a good understanding of what the problem is and what options are available. This gives the patient a good understanding and possible solutions.Many Doctors do not demonstrate this quality.

The doctor apologized for being behind & explained why. He then did my exam & didn't have an answer right away. But explained he would get back to me after he spoke with colleague. He did call & we have a plan.

Dr. Zachary was extremely prompt in getting my results to me. He went above the norm in sending me a very detailed message via MyChart explaining my x-ray results, planning for future care of my problems and options to consider. He and his resident were extremeluy thorough. I have complete confidence that he will continue to address my medical issues and help me to reduce my pain associated with my problem. I feel confident that following his directives, I will have less pain than I am currently experiencing. I feel a sense of relief that I have not felt in the many years I have been dealing with these specific medical issues. I feel I am in the good hands under his care.

When it takes MONTHS to get an appointment with a specialist, the pain had been reduced to discomfort. Provider appeared to be rather 'unimpressed' with my problem.

Dr just told me bad news that no Dr at the Clinic would operate on my back
Reviewed on Jun 22, 2018
after the initial intake info (questions, blood pressure, etc.) were completed ten minutes before my scheduled appointment, I had to wait one and a half hours in the waiting room before being called in to the exam room! When I was finally called, I protested the wait, and was told that they give each patient all the time they need and answer all their questions. However, when It was my turn, I didn't get to ask all my questions. Every Clinic Doctor should not run out of the room before asking the patient if they had any questions!
Reviewed on Jun 22, 2018
My visit was on 6/22 and Doctor ordered xrays which I completed after I left his office on 6/22, and results sent automatically to My Chart on 6/22 @ 12:45pm. For some reason, the Doctor sent feedback on the xray test results yesterday (Tuesday) 7/24 which is almost FIVE WEEKS Later! I think this is the poorest communication and it has really caused me to lose confidence. I had just composed a letter to him about what was the game plan and just now received info about follow-up and his placing order for PT and a follow up visit to him after completing PT. I wrote him that we will need to have better communication if we are to have a good working Doctor/patient relationship.

The Doctor's "assistant" was very understanding as she interviewed me and did tests to see how I walked, etc. She was an excellent listener and very professional.
Reviewed on Jun 22, 2018
The man who set up my xray on my way out was very helpful and courteous. You ask if I was able to get an appointment with this doctor as soon as needed in the next frame, but no place to write and none of the choices fit as this is my first visit. My primary care doctor had said something was wrong with my back and I needed to see a spine doc. I had a bit of a wait before I could get an appointment.
Reviewed on Jun 22, 2018
Don't know if they washed hands so I can't rate that... The assistant had great sensitivity to my needs, but I felt the doctor's poor communication about the game plan and failure to ask me if I had any questions before he left room, showed poor sensitivity to my needs . I do want to give him credit for showing me the CT Scan ordered by another doctor for another reason, and reviewing my spine and hips as they showed up in that scan. THAT I appreciated!
