Industry Relationships

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 7/17/2024, Dr. Zell 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.

Reviewed on Jul 1, 2024

The methods (online apps/website) and personnel were great. The only issue that I experienced was a very long wait to establish initial care. I did not have a primary care physician and I had attempted to establish care for a long period of time but every office I contacted, patients were no longer being taken, even though the website stated new patients were being accepted. A representative, via phone, was able to connect me with Dr. Zell but I had to wait 6-8 months for that Initial visit.

Dr. Zell discussed her initial assessment and took the time to provide more details when questions were asked.

Dr zelle is the worst doctor I've ever had.she was rude,dismissive,and unprofessional.i would have rather talked w her student.ive had respiratory issues for almost 6 months.and her doctor recommendation was to take mucunex for a month or two despite the warning labels on the bottle.she didn't offer any medical facts.only her opinion,which wasn't wanted or needed.I wouldn't recommend her to my worst enemy.in fact I asked not to see her specifically scheduled an apt with another doctor,who called out sick the day of my appointment. So I was rescheduled with the only doctor with an opening. Maybe if she cared about her patience even a little she might have more business.she was the tipping point for me and I'll be transferring all my stuff to university hospital.where I'm treated like a human being.....
