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 10/7/2019, Dr. Arce has reported no financial relationship with industry that is applicable to this listing. 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 Arce and staff her are the best in the business. Why would I drive all the way from the Keys Gate Community, to vist her in Weston, if I didn't think she was the best Endocrinologist in the south Florida area. she worked very hard getting me the insulin I needed, where other Endos, I have dealt with . She deserves a 12+, on a high scale of 10. And her assistant "Gisele" also deserves a 12+I really dislike doing surveys, unless the stand. out from the ordinary. Dr Arce surely does that and how!!!!!!!

I wated for two months for this appointment. Care provider came in and sat at the computer with her back to me for most of the visit. She treated me with very little respect and I was surprised at how little attention and interest she seemed to have in my case.

Again, the physician had her back to me during most of the exam and spoke to me only when I asked questions. It was very disappointing!

Dr Arce is the third endo physician I have seen. I drive 1 1/2 hours to see her because she is so knowledgeable and helpful. She is the only physician who has been able to help me with my thyroid issues. I have had great success in the year and a half I have been her patient. she is an amazing physician and wonderful asset to Cleveland clinic.
