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 6/25/2024, Dr. Venesy 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 venesy was my first experience with my ortho condition :she even noted that my wife attended with me in her notes...very thorough.

Reviewed on Nov 1, 2024

We had a great conversation about my issues and clinical information regarding same. Dr. Venesy explained the anatomical and physiological complications and gave me her best advice which I was able to understand and accept. I've found this highly helpful and rather the norm for CC.

Access to MD was limited due to full schedules. I was willing to take any appt with any main campus Eastside spine doctor. 5 week wait, which truthfully was better than I expected but from a personal pain and suffering perspective, not soon enough!

Dr Venezuelan is one of the best doctors I've encountered. She's kind, Easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and really wants to help make her patient find pain relief

Reviewed on Sep 20, 2024

I don't really like doctors in general (no offense, I just never really think about it) but this doctor IS AWSOME! Attentive, great "bedside manner", overall a pleasure to visit.

Reviewed on Aug 29, 2024

I couldn't have been more pleased. I have been scared about my outcome and she listened to me and answered my questions. She helped to get an injection scheduled quickly and took my pain and concerns seriously. I left in pain but with a plan I was confident in so I had felt so much better.

Reviewed on Aug 26, 2024

Dr. Vanessie was thorough in her evaluation of me and even referred me to another specialist, but I wasn't totally happy with how she treated me as a patient She was knowledgeable, but also lacked some warmth in her treatment methods.

Reviewed on Jun 28, 2024

Dr. Venesy was professional, kind, caring and supportive. She provided information, and she included me in the decision making process. It was a wonderful experience, and I felt supported throughout.

The provider was kind and caring and explained everything. Loved her!

I have moved and It is very hard to get a new Cleve Clinic doctor in my area, seems no one is taking new patients. I like my current primary care doctor but being a senior would love to find someone closer to me.

Reviewed on May 7, 2024

Dr Venesy is a caring provider who has always treated me like I have a brain. I consider myself a well informed, well read patient and she answers my questions and concerns with respect.

Reviewed on May 7, 2024

I had trouble with scheduling an MRI and with pain control and had better than most providers follow up from Dr Venesy and staff trying to help get me squared away.

Wasn't able to get the video to work , but thankfully, Dr. Venesy reached out to me by phone to follow up on the appointment.
