My physician assistant was the best I've ever encountered at the cleveland clinic. She was extremely knowledgeable and caring and put me at ease during a very scary time. You are very fortunate to have her. I've been an RN for 50 years.

I appreciate seeing the NP and being able to discuss care. However, last visit and this visit no decision can be made until the NP can discuss with the MDthat leaves me in limbo.

I wish you had excellent as a choice for this doctor. I'm not exaggerating by saying the care, concern and professionalism of this doctor was wonderful. She took time to show me my CT scans and explain my diagnosis'.

Every one was very nice. We waited over an hour for our doctor appointment.

A very intelligent and knowledgable, caring human being explained the results of the CT scan clearly and gave her opinion on the results. I really liked her and would highly recommend her to anyone. I chose to see a specific doctor instead of her in one year, because I want a definitive and hopefully final resolution to this medical question. I suspect she would be able to give me the same information, but, just in case the news isn't good, better to hear the next steps from a person who could operate to try to save me from the issue.
