When I first got sick, I turned to the Cleveland Clinic and was greatly disappointed. I drove…read morehundreds of miles to the Cleveland Clinic to be treated. I found Elaine Husni to be completely inept. I saw Elaine Husni in 2012. She did not address any of my problems. She did not look at quantitative and qualitative evidence I provided during our meeting, including pictures. She was ignorant of basic principles of rheumatology. For example, she claimed that since my sed rate was low, all of my issues could not possibly be addressed by rheumatology! When approached with citations of papers of her colleague from the Cleveland Clinic that concluded the opposite of her assertions, she did not engage in a conversation. She charged me almost SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS for a meeting where she read back to me old reports that were imported into Cleveland Clinic's system from another hospital and were more than six months old. She told me that my physical abnormality didn't exist and that it I was normal, despite documentation she refused to peruse. She ordered no tests. Despite being shown physical changes in my condition that I had recorded over the past year, including those that included muscle loss, fascia and collagen destruction, blood pressure irregularities, vascular and arterial problems, joint and spine snapping, and more. She also made logical contradictions while talking to me. Said my insurance situation wasn't of concern to her as I tried to explain that I only had a few months left on it and I needed to figure out my condition before I lost my job due to it. Then, she recommended seeing an outside individual and seemed concerned about my insurance situation and the cost of a visit. She basically sent me back to where I came from without any tests since my "Sed rate is low so this can't be a problem for rheumatology." The low of the meeting is when I told her that my condition was debilitating and she asked me how it was debilitating. I explained the radical changes in lifestyle I had to undergo to simply perform daily tasks such as driving, opening doors, and etc, and she did not care. In short, she is completely and thoroughly insulting, incompetent, and deadly to a patient with a problem that is not easy, simple, and has a high sed rate. Avoid her at all costs if you have a problem that isn't already diagnosed. Now that my condition has progressed to the point where I am losing joints, I am extremely angry with myself for ever seeing her and not immediately seeing another rheumatologist. Coincidentally, I saw a rheumatologist at another hospital with a much lower rating a few months later. This rheumatologist found abnormal arterial issues with me in about five minutes and ran the right tests to being diagnosing my condition.

Dr. Husni is a patient and compassionate doctor which is difficult to find these days. She took…read moreher time to understand my issue, review my lab results and treated my health overall and not just temporarily addressing my pain area. It is this careful evaluation of the patient that will allow long term remedies. I feel 100% now and I am grateful for her and her team. I received great service and I highly recommend seeing Dr. Husni.

Nice guy (and a surgeon?) Does not compute. But it's true!…read more Dr. Hendrickson is the section head of hand surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. He's cross-listed between ortho and plastics and is extremely busy and highly regarded. In my experience both personally and professionally, such physicians typically tend also to hold THEMSELVES in pretty high regard. Not Dr. Hendrickson. This guy is actually a real person who treats others as such. He recently screwed Sean's hand back together. After surgery he and his nurse came out, took me to a private area, and spent at least 5 minutes talking to me about how things went, what to expect, and what to do if there were problems. I was watching other surgeons meet with other families. Not so much. The typical (said hurriedly and in front of the whole waiting room) was, 'everything was good, keep it dry, see you back in a week.' Not with Dr. Hendrickson. It was obvious that he gave a crap about both Sean and I and really took the time to make sure I understood things and had no questions. Same at the first follow-up appointment. Sean's hand is rapidly returning to normal thanks to Dr. H and his team. Truly a class-act and an asset to both the Clinic and the profession. We'd recommend Dr. Hendrickson to anyone in need of his services.

Dr Bassiri Gharb is an amazing surgeon. She did my breast augmentation and my facial feminization…read moresurgery. I had a really great experience with both procedures. She is really great at advocating for her patients and also was extremely helpful in getting my insurance to cover these gender affirming procedures. She is super LGBTQIA friendly. She is without a doubt the most educated doctor I've ever had the pleasure of working with as well. She has done 5 fellowships plus she's the director of plastic surgery research and the co director of cranial facial surgery. I honestly would give her 10 stars if I could because of how great my experience was. She is also not one of those doctors that sees you as just a number and she doesn't rush you and takes her time. She also keeps it very real when discussing outcome and possible risks. Last thing I want is a doctor that is just telling me what I want to hear and she is very honest about the risks.
