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.

I can't say enough about Dr. Vidimos, she was so friendly, kind, and understanding. I had a problem with injections (pain) in the area of my surgery, we talked about it before the surgery and she did a wonderful job of numbing the area with very minimal pain which really lowered my anxiety considerably. She also went into great detail about the type of skin cancer I had as I had had been given some misinformation previously. If I have to see a specialist again I will certainly request Dr. Vidimos again.
