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.

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.
