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.

Dr. Rubio-Tapia is by far one of the most outstanding doctors I have met with. His attention to detail in reviewing my charts prior to my virtual visit was unmatched. His knowledge of Celiac Disease and related autoimmune diseases was related to me in such a way that has helped me tremendously.

He is truly one of the most exceptional doctors and I hope the Cleveland Clinic realizes how fortunate they are to have him on their staff.

I went there to be physically seen per the PT that did the bowel therapy that Dr Rubio ordered. PT stopped doing the therapy, thinking I have more adhesions in upper right quadrant of abdomen. I have pain daily 24/7 in this area, and have pain increased after eating, some types of activity, bumpy rides, and did so during & after bowel therapy. I also am in pain related to my Autoimmune and back issues. Dr Rubio started off the afternoon appointment reminding me that I was late earlier, but did not know I drove so far. Dr Rubio then asked me about my pain medications and asked me when I last took them. I informed him I took Ibuprofen and Hydrocodone over the weekend. He then asked me if I peed in a cup, if I would pass a urine test. I informed him yes! The appointment continued to go downhill. Anything I asked, I felt he challenged.
