Always a privilege to meet with Dr. Faulx. I have consulted, been treated, by 9 different cardiologist and those at the Cleveland Clinic have always exceeded my expectations, they are all excellent. However, I must say that Dr. Faulx is in a very elite class, the best of the best. Our session involved a true dialogue where I felt that my comments, concerns, and fears were all addressed. My Wife was in attendance and Dr. Faulx included her in the discussion, making her feel vital and valued. She felt reassured and much of her fear was eliminated or attenuated. She is absolutely vital to my well being and my chief concern is for her well being, which Dr. Faulx is well aware. I enjoyed his involvement of 2 other docs who I sensed were learning and assisting. One participated in my examination and she was very attentive and impressive.

Dr. Faulx was kind, professional and thorough. He listened to my questions and responded with compassion. (The only drawback to my experience at the Cleveland Clinic was misinformation regarding my identity stated in my exit notes. My marital status and city of residence were listed incorrectly. After addressing this with the secretary via e-mail and a phone call, she indicated that she would send my follow-up questions to another doctor, not Dr. Faulx as I had indicated. I was finally able to correct this final error.)

I am very satisfied with Dr. Faulx. He inherited me with a few problems and reviewed my chart thoroughly before my first visit several years ago. The problems were solved.

we were treated great by all the people we had contact with that day. My dad has been losing hope of anyone helping him. All the doctors want to do is push medicine at him.
