I drove 3 hours to see Dr. Hellman because I needed a 2nd opinion for a diagnosis & treatment plan. Since this was a new patient visit, I didn't know what to expect. What I discovered was a doctor who did his homework prior to seeing me. He reviewed previous doctor notes, bloodwork, & tests along with details from MyChart. Dr. Hellman was patient and compassionate. In words that I could understand, he explained the medical diagnosis, treatment options & even the research notes that I did on my own. In today's era of Wealth Care instead of Health Care, finding Dr. David Hellman was like finding a needle in a haystack. Thank you Doctor for your empathy, patience & professionalism.

Dr. Hellman is friendly, communicates clearly and considers what it is like to be in the patient's shoes. He has a no-nonsense approach when tackling my health challenge, which I appreciate. He outlines next steps so you understand his thought process and the result he wants to achieve. If every doctor behaved like this, Cleveland Clinic (and our entire healthcare system) would be much better.
