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 11/5/2022, Dr. De 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. De is an outstanding practitioner. She is extremely knowledgeable and overtly confident in her assessment of medical disorders and the strategies/procedures needed to eliminate the disorder. She used current and past CT Scans to identify a disorder that was not effectively addressed three years ago (December, 2019) using a CCF procedure and opted to use a different CCF procedure this time to effectively eliminate a kidney stone. I am most appreciative and hold her in the highest regard.

Reviewed on Aug 2, 2022
Dr. De did a wonderful job listening to my health issues and troubles. She took a comprehensive look at what might be causing the problems. She asked follow-up questions and we had a very constructive dialogue. She ran some tests I needed and uncovered some root cause problems my prior urologist hadn't uncovered or treated. She recommended and explained a detailed plan for treating me. Within a day of seeing her and taking a prescription from her and I began feeling better. Prior to seeing Dr. De I was suffering terribly and began to loose hope. My full healing will likely take a few months but I have hope again. I am so thankful for Dr De.
