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.

Dr. Menon is a very caring cardiologist but more importantly he is very knowledgeabe, capable and thorough. With so much of a doctor's time necessarily spent analyzing test results, documenting the patient visits and reporting, their schedule requires them to conduct themselves with the patient in a very businesslike manner which Dr. Menon does.

Dr Menon provided thoughtful and detailed information to me about my status and surgery. I was especially grateful that my wife and daughter were there to hear it. My daughter is a nurse at the Clinic. The doctors information gave both of them relief from their anxiety about my surgery.
