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 11/19/2018, Dr. Malaya, Jr. 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.

I can't thank Dr Malaya enough for his kind, professional care when I came to him very desperate for help.

I would like to commend *Dr. Malaye for his concerns and frequent visits.
Reviewed on Oct 5, 2018
Dr. Malaya was very empathetic and took the time to explain what was going to happen and why I needed the gall bladder removal now rather than later. His demeanor throughout all our contacts was very professional with a large portion of "caring". I appreciated his candor and attitude throughout. Thanks again, Dr. Malaya

appointment was a follow up to emergency surgery performed by dr Malaya. This was my only experience with dr Malaya. Under the circumstances, it was a very positive and reassuring experience.

I feel that *Dr. Malaye kept my family very well informed on my surgery - other doctors not so much.
Reviewed on Apr 6, 2018
Dr. Malaya fully explained everything with me. He even showed me my problem. In my opinion he is really great.
Reviewed on Mar 7, 2018
Again, Dr Malaya did a great job prepping me for what to expect prior to surgery and also explaining to my husband and I the day of surgery. it helped for him to explain to my husband what to expect with recovery.
