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

Dr. Shewmon was so thorough in his explanations and assessment of my health issue. I truly felt that he had my best interests in mind, and had a genuine concern for my long term health. He did not perform the procedure I was scheduled for that day because he felt it was not the best route forward. I so appreciated his caution, expert opinion, and referral to a colleague he thought could best help me. I feel fortunate he was involved in my care.
