Biography
His general internal medicine practice consists of primary care, hospital-based medicine and executive health. One the great things about the diversity in his practice is that he can spend extra time talking to patients about things that may not be related directly to health but are certainly connected—like job stresses, family, food, exercise, and lifestyle choices. It’s proactive, patient-focused, and educational.
In addition to his general medicine practice, he serves as the medical director for HealthNetwork Foundation and on the regional board for Make-A-Wish Foundation. He was the previous regional secretary-treasurer for the Society for General Internal Medicine.
Dr. Cartabuke resides in Kirtland Hills, Ohio, with his wife, son and daughter. His wife is the owner and operator of Synergy Equestrian, a 31-acre equestrian facility in Chardon, Ohio that houses over 20 horses.

Dr. Cartabuke is truly exceptional, and in my experience over several years, one of the finest physicians at Cleveland Clinic. I have tremendous confidence in his clinical judgment and especially value his ability to help me navigate difficult healthcare decisions when recommendations from other physicians may be unclear or leave me uncertain about the best course of action. He has an extraordinary ability to look at the complete picture, put complicated information into perspective, and encourage me to make thoughtful decisions that are right for my health and long-term well-being. I trust him enormously and feel exceptionally blessed to have him as both my Executive Health physician and valued friend. He represents Cleveland Clinic at its very best and is an en extraordinary asset to the organization.
