Dr. Yalcin - this guy ''really makes things happen''. He was professional, respectful, concerned, supportive, thorough, focused and really inspired confidence and trust. My ENTIRE encounter with CC in my case was EXCELLENT - and I will (and have) recommended CC and Dr. Yalcin to others - but Dr. Yalcin really ''turned the screws'' that made things happen, made my procedure - within my schedule limitations - possible. BIG fan.

Dr. Sercan Yalcin is the epitome of what Cleveland Clinic stands for! He is an outstanding and extremely intelligent doctor. He is kind, considerate, a good listener who takes the time to assess the problem. He described my medical issue in an easy to understand manner. His demeanor was one of caring and concern. He provided detailed steps to take including PT, and what I could do to alleviate pain. He was forward thinking, telling me of pain relief options down the road. One of best doctors I've ever encountered!
