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.

Very busy at the cancer center that day so we expected some delays. Dr. Dean is well worth the waiting for. On our initial visit with him a year ago he took all the time we needed to explain things to us and talk us through the treatment process. He is the very best.

Dr. Dean is the consummate professional. I've boasted about him to anyone who has asked about my care over the years. I could not be in better hands. His patients are lucky he is at the Clinic. He is not only the best oncologist (he's the only one) I've ever had, but he's also the best doctor I've ever had. He is a human being and genuinely cares about each patient. As a patient, that means so much.

I am giving fair remarks - I waited for over an hour - but I know that I was fit in to see Dr. Dean as a referral from Dr. Phinney before my chemo started. So I knew that I would be waiting and was probably the last patient of the day - no fault of Dr. Dean

There was no one at the desk when I left - Dr. Dean seemed to be the only one who really cared what was going on with me. Dr. Dean explained my diagnosis better to me and I left with more knowledge of what to expect.

To contact Dr Dean's office I used the My Chart electronic messaging system, rather than the telephone. His responses through this seem have always been prompt and relevant. I have found Dr Dean to be one of the most outstanding doctors I have ever encountered. His technical understanding of my medical condition has been superb and his ability to communicate it to me has been excellent. He is patient and listens to my questions and addresses them with real concern. Quite simply his attitude and enthusiasm have helped me deal with a difficult medical condition and have given me the strength and conviction I needed to carry on.

Dr Dean is sometimes delayed, and we are notified; however, on this day, the nurse bringing me back to the exam room didn't mention anything, and he was delayed.
