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.

I was given the appropriate tests for my symptoms, which were negative, but wasn't offered advice on how to proceed to whatever should come next. I felt if this doctor could not help me she would have offered a referral to another medical field. I am no better off or closer to an answer for what is happening to me than I was before my arrival. And the over 3 months waiting time for an appointment while suffering was extreme.

Dr. Ray is compassionate and I can tell she's always thinking about treatment options for me as I cannot take biologics for treatment options due to lung problems that I have. so she even decided to bring in two of my other doctors for their opinions. I enjoy my office visits with her because I know she really cares and worries about my level of pain and what the RA is doing to my body. she explains everything thoroughly and always tells me to contact her anytime when I'm not doing well. for me she's my hero.
