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.

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.

I had a "one-off" operation performed by Dr Muruve. Overall, I would recommend him to family and friends. The hospital is 1 hr away by car so it is not convenient, but it works. Dr Muruve is a sympathetic listener and I like his "bed side manner"

Dr Muruve was polished and professional. He impressed me as knowledgeable and experienced. He was very businesslike and treated me with dignity and respect, I pray I did the same with him. He reviewed my charts, asked questions, listened to my answers and made informed replies. He explained what we were going to do on my next visit and how I should prepare for it. All in all he struck me as a fine, accomplished, skillful physician with the tools and abilities to best address the health issues I am facing, thank you.
