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

I saw Dr. Samuel and I was very impressed with him. He listen, gave me his opinion and we set up another appointment to go over findings

I was in great pain. It would have been wonderful if I could have gotten in when the pain was so bad. However I had to wait weeks for availability to be seen. This is a general problem with all Cleveland clinic appointments. Not aimed at dr Samual. Also the Wait time on hold when I call the clinic for anything is way too long.

Dr. Samuel was great; however, the fellow or intern that was with Dr. Samuel was extremely disrespectful. She did not allow me to complete my sentences when explaining my symptoms and medical history. She actually tried completing my sentences for me and her interpretations of what I was trying to say were incorrect. I felt very unheard and invalidated.
Reviewed on Sep 14, 2021
I was seen initially by the fellow, Dr. Christina Shin. She was OUTSTANDING. Very comprehensive questioning of the history of the source of my problem and range of symptoms. Extensive real-time reference to imaging and very clear explanations of the injury mechanism and course of treatment. Very bright but clear spoken.

One thing that threw me was one of the first things Dr. Samuels asked me was 'have you found a diagnosis yet?' What?!? I thought that's why I've been working with Cleveland Clinic?? I mentioned that I plan to go to a rheumatologist because 'Fibromyalgia' was mentioned to me, to which Dr. Samuels rolled his eyes. So I'm supposed to find my own diagnosis somehow, but making that attempt leads to eye rolls from my provider??

This was my first visit with Dr. Samuel. Although the results from my MRI were very serious Dr. Samuel put me at ease by explaining my condition and recommended an appointment with Dr. Unwall. Dr. Samuel was very kind and I appreciated that because I am very concerned about the surgery I am facing.
Reviewed on Jun 8, 2021
Dr Samuel has very little empathy. I have NEVER, in the 30 years of having RSD asked for a little time off work, and he said he wasn't able to do that. I didn't feel like he understood the pain I was in. I am hardly ever at a level 6, he never even addressed my pain level. My nerve had just been shocked by the Medtronic person and he expected me to respond to his testing. I really am unsure about what to do, I feel as though I went back 30 years and have to explain my disease. Maybe he was very busy that day, but I also really needed help.

the staff overall were fine. I just thought the dr could have been a bit more empathic.

Dr. Samuel was very informative, nice and caring. I went to him from a recommendation of my physical therapist because I was not happy with Dr. DeMicco. Dr. DiMicco was quite dismissive and didn't seem to care at all that I was in extreme pain. Dr. Samuel took a lot of time to listen and to review my MRI with me. It was much different than the experience I had with Dr. DiMicco. I look forward to my follow up appointment.
