first, they made me an appointment with the wrong doctor - he said he couldn't treat me and sent me to rhuematology. Then Dr. was incredibly rude, did not want to hear anything I said, diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and sent me on my way

Very caring Fellow doctor who took a lot of time going over my history. The Dr. Elzawawy was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and caring. I am a geriatric health care manager. I view Cleveland Clinic Weston with the utmost respect. I recommend many of my clients to seek care from doctors who practice there. I found this group to meet my expectations of the superiority of Cleveland Clinic. Highly recommend.

Not written down why he feels this way, it was done while walking out, in passing while handing me literature to read on my own. Over 5 years of wanting an answer to what is happening to my life..... a person treated me like a machine. He verbally telling me who to follow up with while Im still trying to wrap my head around what he's telling me....Here let me give you your life long sentence in passing....it was shocking and demeaning. The behavior made me feel I should not believe the diagnosis.
