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 5/7/2019, Dr. George 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.

My physician was based in Lorain facility, at times challenging to contact him
Reviewed on Feb 7, 2020
I felt confident in the doctors explanations and recommendations but it was hard to comprehend everything in the short visit, maybe 15 minutes. Not very long for the initial new patient visit. I definitely felt rushed.
Reviewed on Jan 29, 2020
The visit was good (when it was finally realized). Was not notified first appt. was cancelled - it was, "Oh, he's out of town today", The next two that were scheduled were canceled due too his being in surgery. Why was it scheduled on one of his "surgery days". BUT the final visit was good. He's a good doctor.

I waited for over an hour and fifteen minutes past my appointment time. When I checked in at the desk, the two individuals were sitting there talking amongst themselves and acted as if I was an inconvenience to them and made no mention of the doctor running behind. Once I was finally brought back to a room, I continued to wait and had to step out to ask someone how much longer it would be as I had scheduled someone to watch my infant while I attended the appointment. When the doctor finally came in, he did not even acknowledge how far behind he was and how long I had to wait, seemed totally rushed for my appointment, spent less than 10 minutes with me, didn't let me explain all of my symptoms, and seemed totally disinterested.

Dr. George is great. Very smart, attentive , and professional. Not in a hurry, makes eye contact when he speaks, and he make sure you understand.

very attentive and informing. Dr. George explained everything to me as he sat down on a stool. listened to me and asked if I understood what he told me. he said if the pain came back for me not to ignore it but, to come back. The X-Ray tech was knowledgable and she explained how and why as she worked.
