Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry.

Dr. shook, and his team of nursing and scheduling has been extremely responsive to my questions and needs.

This is the first time that a virtual visit went so well for me at the Cleveland Clinic. It was very evident that Dr. shook was technologically proficient as he was able to read through my medical history and listen to me. Speak of that history while asking clarifying questions of me. I've had many virtual visits where the physician could not do all of those tasks with ease, making me feel less confident in their skill in my care.
