Industry Relationships

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 10/3/2024, Dr. John has reported the financial relationships with the companies listed below. 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. Kuruvilla John is respectful and smart. Appointments feel rushed. I dont mind being seen late, but dont feel that I should be rushed when I have arrived early and waited my time. Occasionally I I was being hushed while trying to speak and answer questions, I t felt like it was an effort to rush along. Dr. Kuruvilla John is kind and smart and has made a positive impact in my recovery.

This was my final visit with dr John and he listened to my concerns. I recognize that based on test it won't completely fit the discomfort and pain that I've been dealing with for the past several years accurately but at least dr John didn't make me feel as if the symptoms were just in my head as other doctors have in the past

Dr. John was wonderful! He took his time, he listened to me and answered my questions. He had already reviewed my information before I got into the appointment and was very interested in what was happening to me. He gave me so much information and was so knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone!

I have the highest regard for the reputation and services of Cleveland Clinic. It took several months to obtain the appointment but the meeting with Dr. John was worth the wait. I now have two tests scheduled and he has been very gracious to schedule my follow up a day after testing. I have heard so many good stories about the services provided. I thank you and encourage your entire staff to keep up the good work. Best regards.
