I am so happy I got a second opinion at Cleveland Clinic and was able to meet Dr. Ghandour. He pointed out several things other doctors failed to mention. I am confident the treatment option we decide on was the best option for me. Dr. Ghandour has that rare combination of surgical skill and compassion, and I would recommend him highly.
