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.

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.

This experience took me off guard. My expectations of Cleveland Clinic's excellence & my experience did not match. This was my first appointment here & I to say I was disappointed is an understatement. It felt like the dr did not see me as a person but as another case he just had to get through. He said he did not have any of my records but didn't dive into my history or my path to him. he joked about me wasting my money with my current doctor & her course of treatment. He stated if I wanted to waste my money I could donate it to his kids medical college fund. He also made digs about my doctor. A doctor who he doesn't even know. He asked if she had ran specific lab work & tests to confirm PBC. I said no that's why she referred me. He said he could do them but again I should save my money & donate to his child. So he didn't order the lab work. I left with a lump in my throat by how dismissed I felt. This is not excellence.

Dr. O'shea spends time with me un-like any other specialist I've ever seen. That is the reason that I continue to see him and highly recommend him to every person that I meet with liver issues. I value him above all other providers. Please allow him to continue this most valuable care of time spent.

Dr. O'Shea was very good. He took time with me and I didn't feel rushed out of the office. He explained everything so I could understand and was very professional.

I feel at times there should be more eye contact and acknowledgement to the patient checking in for appointments. I have felt that some coordinators talk down to patients and tend to make them feel uncomfortable in certain situations. I had a very positive experience with my Doctor and felt he had done his homework and was aware of my medical situation. My former Doctor retired and this was my first visit with my replacement and I was very pleased.

Usually, wait times are very good. On this particular day, Dr. O'Shea was tied up with a patient and apologized for his lateness. He is a doctor who does not rush patients and we appreciate that, knowing that he does the same for the patients ahead of us.
