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 12/3/2019, Dr. Druzina 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.

Doctor Druzina is the best Doctor I have ever had. Very thorough and compassionate !

The video visit was previously an office visit. I received a call about 2 weeks prior letting me know that I needed to do this as a video. I would have preferred an office visit but do understand the current limitations. Dr. Druzina is the best and she has been my doctor for at least 25 years. Not being able to schedule a physical with her when I need it can be frustrating, but I try to understand.

If I continue to recommend Dr. Druzina, then it will be even more difficult to get an appointment with her. She listens and she hears what I am saying -- 2 totally different things and both are important. She always shares various options and what she thinks would work best for me -- that is the advantage of having a long-term relationship with such an amazing provider.

Dr. Druzina did a great job making me comfortable with the video visit, letting me know when the screen would go dark because she was entering information. Overall I prefer an office visit.

Hope you keep the telemedicine option - even after COVID-19 is gone. I will still travel to see Dr. Druzina for my annual physical, etc. but it's nice to know I can also make an appointment with her via telemed for any followups.

Dr. Irene Druzina is an exemplary provider. She listens to me and is open to incorporating alternative medicine or herbal remedies I am more comfortable with. It is evident she is "heart-centered" and only wants her patients to be successful at achieving their medical goals. As long as she is in practice, I will continue to be her patient.

Although I would love to recommend Dr. Druzina, her schedule is full until next year. She needs to be cloned. I am certain she sees generations of families. That in itself let's you know how endeared she is to patients. I absolutely love her as a provider and person.
