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 11/29/2018, Dr. Lashin 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 had to bring my one year old with me and Dr. Lashin was amazing not only with me, but with her as well. He didn't act put out by having a little one at the appointment and he took his time to listen to me and answer my questions all while interacting with a one year old. I could not have been more impressed!

I wanted to see Dr Lashin because he is a thyroid specialist and I needed expert advice that was lacking from my GP from another hospital group. I was able to get an appt with Dr Lashin very quick, his advice well communicated and most helpful. checking in was a breeze and wait time was minimal. My only complaint is I had to drive an hour to see him. But it was time well spent!

My doctor's office made this appointment. Based on my experience last year, I would not have been able to make the appointment myself as easily because trying to get through to the Cleveland Clinic is VERY DIFFICULT.

Dr. Lashin does an excellent job connecting with me. I haven't seen him in almost 2 years and he remembered personal information about me that I'm sure isn't in my medical record. He is very thorough when explaining the reasons for the plan of care and offers supportive evidence for best practices. I wish I could see him for my primary care needs! He is awesome!
