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.

We had heard only the best things about Dr Malgeri and we weren't disappointed. he sat down with us and talked to us looking at us in the eyes. Didn't have a gloom-and-doom attitude. Was friendly and informative and assuaged our fears, gave us a little hope when we needed it. Paid more attention to us than the computer. Most CCF physicians are paying attention typing in the computer when you're talking but not Dr Malgeri.
