Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit.

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.

There isn't enough room on this survey to tell you how much I appreciate Dr. Parambil. He never turns me down when I need a question answered and he's always spot on with my care. Especially this time...the doctors in my area thought I had nothing serious wrong and "oh, a couple sessions of therapy will do you good and you can get back on your feet." That surely wasn't the case and if I had listened to them, I would have had life-changing happenings in my health. Dr. Parambil recognized this immediately and started me down a path of repair and maintenance. I have more faith in him than any doctor I have ever visited. I have worked medical all my adult life, being administrator or office manager and working closely with four different groups of specialties and I know good when I see it. Dr. Parambil tops them all.
