dr. Sutherland is the first gynecologist I've had at the Cleveland clinic that has really made me feel like she cares for me. What a kind woman! My first visit with her was amazing. I was suffering with menopausal symptoms and she asked if I would like to see a menopause specialist. I had never even heard of a menopause specialist!! It has turned my life around and I will be ever so grateful to Dr. Sutherland!! I also needed to have a small procedure. I would be losing my insurance in about 30 days. She worked to make sure I got my surgery done while I had my very good, private insurance. As I was undergoing anesthesia so she held my hand. What a lovely woman! I would highly recommend her to anyone.
