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 10/20/2022, Dr. Wu 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.

Dr Wu did A great job and kept me informed of what was going on the entire time. The greatest compliment I could give him is that he called me on a holiday weekend to inform me of biopsy results. That is never happened to me before and I really appreciated the effort he made to do that. I cannot say enough good things about him.

The nurse who was putting in the IV was have some difficulties. She was apologetic and got another nurse to do it who was extremely good and explain some "tricks of the trade" to the younger nurse.

Dr. Wu and his team of nurses were extraordinary. I felt seen and cared for. All questions and concerns were addressed. Dr. Wu has a caring bedside manner and was professional. During the procedure, I was experiencing pain and the nurse saw this in my face. She asked the dr if I could have some more sedation and he said yes. She put her hand on my shoulder and said it was going to be okay. That simple gesture greatly relieved my anxiety.

This was my 4th or 5th colonoscopy. My other experiences were either bad or terrible, leaving me with terrible anxiety over the procedure. This time, I felt cared for from start to finish. I wish I could remember the nurses' names in the procedure room with Dr. Wu but they were fantastic. I hope my praise gets back to everybody involved.
