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.

Dr. Kruse is an unbelievable physician. She addressed all of my concerns and took the time to answer all of my questions- sometimes even multiple times as I would forget the answers. As an oncologist she has a difficult job balancing patients emotions with their treatment plans and she should be recognized for her outstanding commitment to her patients. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a physician as she is remarkable in what she does. I cannot say enough about how all of the information I needed was at her fingertips and how calm and evidenced based her treatment explanations and decisions were. I am ever so happy that she was the doctor to guide me through my cycles of chemotherapy.

I have recommended Dr Kruse to someone. She is Everything someone could desire in an oncologist. She gives all of her attention to the person in front of her. She approaches the patient as a person, she listens. She intuits and also seeks to know a patients goals for care. She is supportive. She presents all avenues of treatment. She respects her patients. She extends all of these qualities to patients' families who are present physically or on the phone. Her patients need not worry that they are getting quality medical care as Dr, Kruse is also a scientist and a researcher. She is knowledgeable regarding best practices and current research. She is an active cancer educator and advocate in the community as evidenced by her informative videos easily found on the internet. Recently she presented vital breast cancer information on Fox 8 news. When asked about this, she was humble as always and stated: "if just one person gets a mammogram because of it . . . It was worthwhile"
