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 10/5/2020, Dr. Malgieri 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.

Dr. Malgieri actually listens to his patients instead of "playing" with his computer/lap top as do many health care providers seem to do. He actually makes EYE CONTACT with the patient to whom he is speaking and shows concern and interest in his patients.

It is so much more pleasant to have an appointment at the Breast Center at Hillcrest in it's new atrium location. That old, downstairs location in the dark, dingy location with all the old, worn, unwanted, discarded furniture was very depressing and made me feel as bad as it looked. The only thing that kept me coming was the excellent care provided by Dr. Malgieri.

Dr. Malgieri went above and beyond the call of duty as he conducted my exam and then battled our insurance carrier to make sure a bone scan would be covered. Then, late in the day, he called our home to give the results of the scan. This is not the first time Dr. Malgieri has taken such great care of me. He is a credit to the Cleveland Clinic and to physicians everywhere. The Clinic has a real star.
