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 5/2/2020, 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. 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.

Excellent experience. Dr. George correctly diagnosed a complication I was having with two total hip replacements that my surgeon could not. Very professional, competent, and knowledgeable.

I have found every worker in the Cleveland Clinic to be very concerned and caring about my condition and health. Coming in on crutches for testing, last year, a doctor, seeing me in pain and on crutches,passing me in the tunnel between the parking garage and hospital, grabbed a wheelchair and took me to my appointment. I am sure he had just gotten off work, but took the time to help me out. Sadly , I did not get his name to be able to find and thank him.

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.
