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 7/8/2024, Dr. Kirsch 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. Kirsch is so much appreciated by our family! She completes a well-rounded physical exam, offers recommendations with data-backed facts, and takes the time to listen about all the surrounding social-emotional factors that may be impacting her patient. She demonstrates an excellent balance of providing the standardized check-box physical and considering additional whole-health factors that may not be on the "form." I have recommended Dr. Kirsch to friends because she is so intelligent and caring.

We deeply appreciate Dr. Kirsch. Getting an appointment with her is difficult and requires much advance planning. I scheduled this visit a year in advance to insure we would not be referred to a Nurse Practitioner who we have no experience with.

Dr. Kirsch is the best doctor I have ever had and I have recommended her to family members who are now also in her care. She has a great demeanor and is always thoughtful and listens to me. Other doctors I have had always make me feel rushed and it is not like that at all with nurse Sandy and Dr. Kirsch they are always taking their time and making you feel that you are their top priority.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kirsch for over 20 years and the recent visit has caused me to look for another doctor. I felt she does not listen to me, nor d did she give me other alternatives to treatment. She lectured me about starting a treatment that I was not comfortable with starting and I will no longer use her as my PCP. She no longer is listening to me.
