Mayfield Clinic or Cleveland Clinic
« on: September 25, 2012, 09:51:04 am »
Could anyone tell me of their experience with Dr. John Tew? I was diagnosed with a medium sized AN in June of this year and have been doing a lot of research and have consulted with 3 surgeons. One is Dr. Joung Lee at Cleveland Clinic, Dr. John Tew at Mayfield Clinic, and a surgeon at House Clinic in LA. I have gotten it down to 2 surgeons, Dr. Lee or Dr. Tew. I feel very torn as Cleveland is much closer to me but both are supposed to be excellent. Any information would be helpful
Thanks.

Hi marshasana and welcome to this forum .....

I do not know anything about Dr. Joung Lee at Cleveland Clinic, but I do know that Dr. Tew and the surgeons at House Clinic have excellent reputations.

Best docs I know of in your area as Tew, Pensak, and Theodosopolos.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways
