My consultation with Dr Anton was both rewarding and reassuring. He went above and beyond the call in explaining my situation in a way that I could easily understand and which alleviated my concerns. I went in thinking that I wanted to argue for an EVAR. By the time I left, I realized that what I really wanted was peace of mind. Dr. Anton gave that to me.

Dr. Anton continues to be one of the best surgeons in the Cleveland area. I don't think there is a doctor out there that has demonstrated the devotion and committment that Dr. George Anton has. He is very knowledgeable in his medical practices and has a very friendly and professional bed side manner. I always feel safe when I'm with him because he has taken care of me for over six years with vascular issues. I don't think The Cleveland Clinic will ever be able to replace this exemplorary doctor. I will continue to go to him as long as he is around. A+
