I have never had such a wonderful experience with a health care provider. It felt like the Disney of hospital/ doctor experiences. Dr. Gomes even walked me to the lobby door, I was blown away by that. He took the time to truly listen, he is the first provider I have encountered who was knowledgeable on my condition and in answering my questions- I can't thank him and the Cleveland Clinic enough.

The intern advised that the doctor was a little behind. The wait time was not unreasonable. The doctor did not rush my visit, gave clinical observations and teaching to the intern, and even escorted me out to the reception area. Dr. Gomes and Intern Mannan were very courteous and professional. I would recommend them highly.

The initial receptionist asked if I had other areas of concern, leading to my consulting with Dr. Gomes. Good action on the receptionist's part, and good marketing. The nurse who helped fit me with support hose later in my visit also deserves kudos. Overall, my impression of the Cleveland Clinic and my contact with Dr. Gomes and the staff associated with his service is very positive.
