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 4/1/2021, Dr. DiRuzza 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.

I generally don't talk about healthcare in my circle, but if anyone ask about a doctor, I would gladly recommend Dr DiRuzza

Dr. Diruzza was excellent! She completely went over the issue(s) I was having. She told me the tests she wanted me to have done and why AND then she asked if I was okay with that!!! PERFECT!! I felt like I was part of my healthcare instead of just being told what test to go have!

I appreciate my doctor's positive attitude, professional advice, and her fast response. I was extremely happy with the visit.

Dr. Diruzza is an amazing physician. She listened well and asked clear questions. She created a safe space to share my concerns and answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. She also included me in the decision making process, laying out several options and explaining which one she recommends as the most appropriate for my situation. She also wanted to make sure that the new medication was going to be financially feasible as well. She was clear about her availability in MyChart and who would cover for her once she was out on maternity leave including the dates she would be gone.

I didn't have a video visit because we weren't able to link up, so my doctor called and we had fo do a phone conversation visit. I liked the old way of going through the express care app it worked much better than my chart

I always received excellent care at Cleveland Clinic, through Dr. Deyling and other Doctors in her group. I feel that a video visit will be great for most questions and problems. I strongly feel that an annual physical should be an in person visit and consist of blood & urine tests before the physical so that your test results can be discussed at the physical.
