Dr. Faulx has scheduled more consults with other specialists this week. He has theorized health issues and resolutions that my doctors in Columbus wouldn't even spend the time discussing or looking for to find answers and try to help me live a better life. I am grateful for Dr. Faulx's professionalism and care in looking for a way to help and diagnose my concerns when my Cardiologist wouldn't. He is willing to look outside of his specialty to help me.

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.
