Dr. Petkovsek is wonderful. He is very knowledgeable and is able to put it into terms that we can understand. He is upfront and does not try to sugarcoat anything so that I am not surprised with any follow up news. I am one that needs to know worse case scenarios and he has no problem telling me them. He is a great representation of the Cleveland Clinic and I am fortunate to have him as a profider.

I really liked the doctor. My reason for the visit was to get a second opinion. Dr validated and agreed with my current drs diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan. If I didn't have a good 15+ year relationship with my current drs i would definitely switch to this provider!
