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.

Dr Tagreed M Khalaf is a very good communicator.

Reviewed on Dec 14, 2023

Really? Cared for me as a person? Maybe I misunderstand the question because the busy doctors have too many patients to actually remember without cues, let alone CARE about. However, interaction with her is as warm, respectful and thoughtful as could be desired.

Reviewed on Dec 6, 2023

This is no reflection on the Doctors office or reputation--- they are fantastic but the barriers and wait times of sometimes being months is painfully long sometimes.

Dr. Kahlaf entered the room, and immediately made me feel comfortable about talking to her. She addressed my wife and I with respect, and genuine concern about my situation. Her initial questions about my background and health information were very thorough. After discussing my concerns and what I am hoping to accomplish with my treatment, she offered a few options of what she would recommend moving forward. After some discussion as to which option I would like to pursue, she walked me through the next steps to be taken. Lastly, we made an appointment to talk to a pain management specialist and for a follow-up appointment.

Dr. Khalaf exudes kindness.

Reviewed on Aug 9, 2023

While my back was injured and I was experiencing major pain in June 2023, I was unable to get an appointment with a spine doctor until mid-August (2 months later). By then my pain had diminished and whatever was causing the pain couldn't be determined 2 months after experiencing this pain. I find this to be unacceptable but there is no other recourse.

Reviewed on Aug 7, 2023

Although I was in so much pain and lokong for an immediate solution, Dr. Khalaf was very kind and professional. She discussed my pain and based on the MRI saw that it was coming from a disk herniation in my Lumbar spine. She gave options of what medicine she thought would help me and ordered it at the Crile Pharmacy at CCF. She set me up with a virtual follow up visit in 3 weeks because she knew we traveled 7 hours to get here and didn't think we'd be able to do another long trip in just 43 short weeks. She was extremely sensitive to my pain level when examining me...and made me comfortable while she did her exam. Excellent physician. She couldn't give me a way to get rid of the low back and leg pain immediately,becaise sciatica pain can last a long long time. I'm hoping the medication she prescribed for me will give me some relief. If not I will communicate this to her in our next virtual visit.

I love Dr. Khalaf, however with my new back issues I am finding that it is very difficult in getting appointments moved up when needed. The wait times for appointments are very long as a whole. I am now waiting 5 weeks for injections, while living with debilitating pain

Reviewed on May 15, 2023

Dr. Khalaf takes the time to listen to my concerns. What initially started as a "minor" DDD issue has started to affect my quality of life greatly. Dr. Khalaf wasted no time in ordering an MRI, recommending injections, and looking out for my wellbeing. She is an asset to this department and I am so thankful for her.

Reviewed on May 15, 2023
