When talking with Dr. Mountis she asked about my expectations at the Cleveland Clinic. I mentioned to her about the my research into the brachytherapy that is performed there. She made me an appointment with an interventional cardiologist for that every day! I could not have been more happy about my trip to the Cleveland Clinic. The motto that the patient is number 1 is so, so evident in everyone we encountered.
