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.

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.

Doctor was very personable and allowed me to ask all the questions that I wanted to. He explained my upcoming procedure in great detail and left me with an overwhelming calm feeling when I left. It was really a great experience from the moment I walked into Cleveland Clinic to when I left

Dr. Erim was running behind schedule, but when he came to see me, he spent the time I needed to explain my medical problem and determined our next steps. I know that Cleveland Clinic doctors can run late, but they take the necessary time required with each patient. I don't mind waiting.

I am very disappointed and frustrated with the lack of care and treatment that I was given at the clinic. I was highly recommended to the Cleaveland Clinic and must say I am leaving in the same pain, Gastro issues and vomiting. I saw the dr once and had a CT scan which showed the same results as in New York, and never followed up with me or try to help resolve my issues. I'm going home as sick as when I got here. The Cleaveland Clinic never used there resources to do full work up and help me. I spent a lot of money and time to be treated and finally Healthy, and left with no much done for me. I give this experience a D-. I would never come back.

Provider is extremely busy so first appointment given was too fair in the future. It required my local provider 1 1/2 hrs away to call CC's provider to have him make an appointment at an earlier time. This was accomplished.

Too long to wait to get an appointment at the Cleveland Clinic. Must book 3 months in advance to get an appointment. Not the case with other doctors I see in other practices.

Amazing doctor

tried calling Dr. Erim before my surgery to talk about the prep and she didn't call back for a few days. Then gave me an attitude when she called me back. Very Unprofessional.
