Cleveland Clinic understands the importance of the bond between a referring physician and his or her patient. If your patient is referred to Cleveland Clinic for care, it is our promise that each step of treatment will be communicated to you and the patient will be returned to your care just as soon as is appropriate. Providing the best possible care for all patients is our first priority. We strive to ensure prompt management of all patients and timely responses to our referring physician and healthcare professional colleagues.
