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.

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.

I would rate Dr Rood as a 6 or 7 If I were given the option. He Is the best health care provider I have ever had. He listens to my problems/concerns and works with me to develop a plan. He explains my issues, frequently drawing pictures to help me understand. He has no ego, so I feel I have a partner to work through my issues rather than an expert who tells me what I need to do.

Dr. Rood is Elvis. He is the KING. He saved my life in 2007, and he has been the most fantastic doctor I have ever had. That is saying a lot, as I am 67 years old. He is caring, understanding, brilliant, thoughtful, a great listener and a valued confidant. I do not like him at all when he puts a vinyl glove on, but thankfully, that hasn't happened in a few years...
