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 9/10/2020, Dr. Gebreselassie 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.

He explains everything g so it's easy to understand and gives an honest approach to my Stage 3 Kidney Disease. He makes lifestyle changes and has done a series of different labs and ultra sounds to ensure the disease has slowed and that I'm on track trying to better my health. Highly recommend him.

Doctor is the real deal here. He has never rushed an appointment and always give you 100% of the attention one would expect and maps out a plan for your condition and sends you out for tests to better diagnose and treat the condition/illness you have. I did wait 15 minutes past my appointment time for the doctor to see me but because he's so thorough he gets a hall pass for that. I assume he gives the same amount of care to every patient which would explain the late arrival for him. I know my appointment went beyond the allowed 15 minutes given. He's an exceptional doctor who to me seems very highly trained and has proper knowledge to treat my illness.
