Dr Montis literally changed my life and I cannot say enough good about her! Last year at this time I could hardly do anything because of my bad heart and was being evaluated for a heart transplant. Dr Montis took the time, ordered some tests, changed my meds and changed my life! Dr Montis knows her stuff! She takes the time, never rushes and is very caring. I would highly recommend her to everyone!

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.
