I currently live in Arizona but I am from Ohio and lived most of my life in Ohio. My entire family and I utilized the Cleveland Clinic on various occasions and have always received the best care humanly possible. When I spent a year of worry and despair in Arizona with a diagnosis and treatment that lead to a "brick wall", I reached out to the Clinic. From that moment until today, I can't give enough praise in words but my appreciation goes to every person I encountered. The care and treatment provided by Dr. Allemang, Dr. Cline, Dr. Sanaka, and the entire gastroparesis team is top of the line. I and my family are forced her grateful.

Dr. Allemang is one of the best doctors I've ever met (and I've met a LOT.) He is kind, compassionate and treats you like a person, not just a number. He truly cares and that is very evident in his bedside manner and the way he interacts with me. I will never be able to thank him enough! I literally moved to California but flew back to Cleveland to receive care from him because I trust him so much more.

I had an adverse event during my EGD (Vaso vagal-related asystole). Dr. Allemang explained this to me afterward and made immediate arrangements for a follow-up appointment to discuss our plans moving forward. This was a frightening experience, of course, which is why I was so grateful to be at South Pointe with the medical staff I know and trust. And it's my trust in Dr Allemang that gives me faith that, together, we will come up with the best plans for moving ahead. There is no other surgeon with whom I'd even consider additional outpatient procedures or surgeries, especially d as flyer the Vaso vagal event.
