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

Dr. Lincoff was very detailed in explaining the correct diagnosis to me. This suggests that Dr. Lincoff is much more detail oriented since he was able to see and determine what the doctors in Youngstown and Warren did not. A very positive experience with Dr. Lincoff, and I would have no reservations whatsoever about trusting him with my life.
