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.

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.

I've been a patient of Dr Hantus for years, the doctor and staff have ALWAYS treated me with the highest level of respect, professionalism and made me feel that I mattered

I constantly tell other epilepsy patients or those unsure about Dr Hantus. At one point I moved out of state and returned to Ohio because I found that there is absolutely NO one else I would or could trust with my care. Even when he is honest with me and I don't like it, I completely trust in him and the fact that my best health is his priority for me. There is no one else in the world like him. My epilepsy ambassador has recommended him as well to the epilepsy foundation, for some of her other patients.

Best treatment out of 4 health care providers I've seen for these issues
Reviewed on Jun 4, 2024
Dr. Hantus has made a huge difference in my life- I was treated by 3 other neurologists and was not brought under control- from the 1st appointment he put me on better meds and explained a lot about my condition. Before I saw him I was still having absences and the doctors had no concern- I would have died driving a car.

Dr Hantus was extremely helpful, answered all the questioned I had and even answered questioned I didn't even think of. He took the time to explain and show me the results of my MRI and EEG and told me the basic of what they looked for and things they didn't want to see. After 4 months of seeing other Dr's. My husband and I learned more from him about my condition in the first 10 minutes of my visit than anyone has been willing to talk to me about.
