Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit.

Dr Gorgunn was amazing in so many ways. Took time to explain steps of the procedure and any possibilities that could happen and how he would handle them. Spoke of recovery time for each, follow up and provide peace of mind that was priceless. Reviewed results from all labs, great attention to details, and demonstrated listening skills.
