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

Cleveland Clinic scientists and physicians engage in basic, translational and clinical research activities, working to solve health problems, enhance patient care and improve quality of life for patients.

Had an appointment date with the doctor. The people who make appointments could not make an appointment for 6 months a head. They were to get my appointment scheduled as soon as they could get on the Oct calendar. Day of my appointment and I wasn't scheduled for an appointment. They did however get me in the same day just a different time. So it worked out. I live in Pennsylvania, so it would have not been good had I traveled 4 hours to ohio and not have an appointment.
