Industry Relationships

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 7/18/2024, Dr. Khalaf 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.

Reviewed on Apr 18, 2024

First off - there was much trouble trying to connect with the doctor - I am not the most tech-savvy person and by the time we were able to see & hear each other - I was very frustrated & anxious . That being said & coloring this entire visit - Having had X-rays & an MRI done for this appt, Dr did review their findings & I understood the problem - but She never really explained to me why I was seeing her rather than the actual doctor who would be treating mewhile these "layers" of practitioners may be SOP for Cleveland Clinic - it is foreign to me & the medical care I have received prior to this - I did get SOME answers & somewhat of a plan of care but overall left the appt frustrated

Dr Tagreed M Khalaf is a very good communicator.

Reviewed on Dec 14, 2023

Really? Cared for me as a person? Maybe I misunderstand the question because the busy doctors have too many patients to actually remember without cues, let alone CARE about. However, interaction with her is as warm, respectful and thoughtful as could be desired.

Reviewed on Dec 6, 2023

This is no reflection on the Doctors office or reputation--- they are fantastic but the barriers and wait times of sometimes being months is painfully long sometimes.
