Dr. Dean was very professional and thoroughly explained my PET scan to me. He set up other appointments to see an ENT very quickly. My son has to take off work to bring me to Cleveland for these appointments- I wish they could have been scheduled together for one day instead of 2 days. I live 2 hours away and back and forth is a real inconvenience to both of us- especially my son.
