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.

Dr. Olansky is wonderful!

Reviewed on Oct 15, 2024

Dr took good medical history but was extremely short on helpful recommendations except a cardio referral. There was limited time for my questions or concerns. There were no follow-up measures, tests or ideas of treatment recommendations so I think something was probably overlooked because how I feel doesn't match my past lab work and the intricacies of immune and endocrine systems were not explained or possibly not thought of by Dr. I traveled many hours and left with NO new direction treatment, hope of doing the right treatment or anything. Very dis-satisfying.

Reviewed on Oct 15, 2024

Dr was called out of exam room twice while taking history. Didn't introduce herself or give credentials or specialty areas. Didn't look at Pr or husband much in higher communication ways, as appropriate.

Reviewed on Oct 11, 2024

Dr Olansky took great care and made sure to take time to respond to every question and help me so much with her expertise. I feel that even far away, I was not alone and her true care for her work and career should be recognized. For no matter how busy, she makes sure to respond and keep me informed of any concerns or challenges I need for a healthier and helps my health let me live. Thank you with all my heart

Reviewed on Apr 4, 2024

I traveled almost six hours to get to see a doctor here. I feel the visit with the doctor was very short and not informative at all. She told me I few things I had and could have. She didn't tell me how to treat or deal with any of the issues while at the appointment. I had to send multiple messages about my concerns and she responded very vague. I had to ask additional questions and got a response about medications she would prescribe. Still very vague and not sure what for sure the medication does and how to deal with the other issues she said I had as charted on my records.
