I can't imagine a better healthcare experience or a better provider. Dr. Emery is extremely knowledgable, yet also very approachable and easy to talk with.

Dr. Emery had very poor bedside manner. He did not listen to me. He couldn't wait to cut me off from anything. I had to say he did not respect the fact that I knew my body and knew that something was wrong. He was abrupt and not caring at all. It was all about his own opinion, everything was all about him and what he knows and what I don't know I did not feel he respected me and I did not feel he appreciated the research I had done so I could understand my own body. I really didn't like him and he made me cry after I left there, because he just was not kind very abrupt and did not have anything positive to say .

In this instance, Cleveland Clinic was not a problem. They were wonderful just this particular doctor, Michael Emery was not kind or understanding and he made me cry because he was negative and had nothing good to say and did not listen to me. That's the part that really bothered me. He did not think I had any know or sense about me and about my body. I know my body and he did not respect that so I did not care for him and he made me very upset.

Dr. Emery seemed to know his stuff and made some very helpful comments relating to my condition, but I couldn't tell if he really cared about me as a person.
