Dr Rex is an exceptional doctor and more importantly empathetic provider. She took time examining my daughter, Annalin, thoroughly after she failed PT. She continued to try to find solutions for her. I am also on staff at CC and am very aware of how high provider burnout is with physicians, but Dr Rex made sure to take time with her, explain, was empathetic and provided suggestion.

Dr. Rex is absolutely amazing. Cleveland Clinic is lucky to have her, as is my child. She goes above and beyond.

I needed an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon and Dr. Rex is not a surgeon. I called back to scheduling after my apt with Dr. Rex to schedule with a list of surgeon's she provided. Scheduling couldn't get an apt scheduled so they said they would leave a message with the surgeon's office to call me back for scheduling. NEVER heard back, so I scheduled elsewhere.
