Dr. Dean was very thorough in describing my condition, outlining the plan of care, and laying out options - including a study. I never felt pressured, rushed, or condescended to. He was kind, attentive, and reassuring. I also appreciated his quirky sense of humor, which really helped me relax - that's a hard thing to pull of in an oncology visit. He saved my life, and I'd recommend him whole-heartedly to anyone with lymphoma.

Last year, I did not get to attend meeting with Dr. Dean due to him being over booked and I had the same problem. I had to stay on schedule with all my lab work so that I could meet requirements to have a operation or I would have to come back to Cleveland Clinie to reschedule any lab work I would have missed. This would delay my upcoming operation to replace my right hip. I was very concerned that had to miss seeing Dr Dean. The good news, on July 28, 2020 I met with Dr. Dean and we talked about missing my meeting with him and Dr. Dean unstood that he was he was overbooked with a client and he was not upset with me missing my session with him. He unstood that I had to miss meeting with him due to the other lab meetings that I had to attend so that I would be able to get my operation completed as scheduled. Dr Dean was not upset with me and I felt realy good after our conversation.

Dr. Dean and his staff are absolutely wonderful, and I feel extremely fortunate to be under his care and to receive treatments at Cleveland Clinic. I was initially referred to Cleveland Clinic by an old high school friend, and I actually relocated to Ohio to be under the medical care of Dr. Dean and his associates at Cleveland Clinic after researching the facility, because I was confident I would receive the best care and advice on my condition (mantle cell lymphoma). After a year of treatment at Cleveland Clinic, I remain extremely pleased and have no regrets... I would make that move again - with no hesitation... for the opportunity to receive care at this Cleveland Clinic facility. My only issue is the 1.5 hour commute to/from the facility... a bit difficult for me sometimes; however, I feel the drive is worth it and will continue to do so until I'm no longer able.
