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 1/1/2024, Dr. Somwaru 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.

Dr Somwaru is one of the best primary care providers (PCP) I have ever had. When my insurance changed last year, and I could no longer see my established doctor whom I loved and who set the bar really high, I knew I wouldn't settle for just any PCP. And it took me some time to do the research, have a couple of disappointing appointments with other doctors until I found her. She is thorough, pleasant, approachable, listens well, and has her patient's best interests in mind. The office staff is very nice, the office space is clean, and welcoming, and I don't think I ever waited more than 10 minutes to be seen.

Dr. Somwaru is undoubtedly one of the top two doctors I've ever had, and I've had top-notched surgeons, oncologists, urologists, hematologists, nephrologists, gastroenterologists, and neurologists.

I can't state enough that she is one of the greatest doctors, and probably the best in this hospital.
