As I always write in my feedback, I'm grateful to have access to the kind of medical care I and my family receive at the Cleveland Clinic. I initially picked Sr Almassi as my urologist based on daughter & son-in-laws referral (also recommended 2 other excellent doctors) and, more specifically, his video message. Felt a good connection w/him and, after actual in-person visits, feel even more connected. He's an exceptional doctor in my view and I will certainly return to him as future needs for care warrant.
