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.

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.

Excellent in every aspect (Dr. Kruse and Dionna Bishop- and team). With a new and difficult diagnosis, Dr. Kruse and Ms. Bishop are what you need before you even know it. Dr. Kruse's deep knowledge in so many adjacent areas as part of the treatment is incredible. Dr. Kruse and team are also "practical" problem solvers. The system is complicated and they are willing to move outside the box to get it done for the patient needs. No physician has time for this, yet they make the time for patients at their most difficult times. These qualities are not payment issues, they are excellent quality of care issues that Dr. Kruse, Ms. Bishop and the team clearly hold themselves to.

Dr. Kruse is a phenomenal physician and caregiver. When I was being placed with an oncologist I asked for someone brilliant and compassionate and I absolutely got what I asked for. Dr. Kruse is a true listener, whom responds thoughtfully and in a way that lets patients know that she actively listened. She includes her patients in decision making, so that patients feel like they have autonomy in the face of a diagnosis that can often make a patient feel like they have little control. Dr. Kruse is compassionate and understanding and sees and acknowledges the person receiving care, you aren't just a patient or an appointment. She's also incredibly smart and knowledgeable. She instills a sense of trust in her early in the process and that's essential when receiving cancer treatment especially.
