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 9/7/2021, Dr. Austerman 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. Austerman is the BEST doctor I have EVER worked with, in any practice, in my entire lifetime. That is not an exaggeration. He always seems to have a plan before we get there. He is extremely thorough. He talks to my daughter and make sure she is being heard and her needs are met. He never treats her like her feelings don't matter. He make sure that she completely understands what the plan is and why. I honestly wish all families with children like mine, were able to have Dr. Austerman. Mental health with a child can be a very difficult, scary and overwhelming thing, but he truly helps make it manageable. A #5 very good rating on your scale is not high enough. It should be considered 10 Excellent!

I recommend Dr. Austerman to everyone. However, Cleveland Climic is extremely lacking in the mental health department. You do not have enough good doctors or facilities.Other than Dr. Austerman, our experience has not always been positive. Cleveland Clinic is good in other areas but mental healthespecially pediatric mental health, is significantly lacking.
