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 11/8/2023, Dr. Olansky 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. 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. Click here to view a listing of instances where Cleveland Clinic has identified a Public Health Service (PHS)-Reportable Financial Conflict of Interest and has put measures in place to ensure that, to the extent possible, the design, conduct and reporting of the research is free from bias.

Dr Olansky was straightforward and thorough. She listened to me and did not question the severity or validity of my complaints. Unfortunately, my issues didn't seem to be in her department.One of the tests she ordered was not correctly entered into the system but I understand that mistakes happen and it's one click between a given test on serum vs CSF and it's not hard to select the wrong one. I only discovered this later.

I don't know that my ratings are a fair reflection of Dr Orlansky or the endocrinology department. I think if my issue were endocrinological in nature, they would be more successful in addressing it!I was very impressed by Dr's knowledge of neuroendocrine and other functional tumors. These are pretty rare beasts and she knew exactly what tests to order to make sure I didn't have any. While I certainly wouldn't like to have them, it would have been an answer of sorts--but it doesn't seem to be the case.

She barely looked at me. It was a very sterile experience. I had to ask for explanations about bloodwork because none were offered. No sense of urgency or concern that I go through life most days feeling miserable.
