Dads Daughter,
Everyone’s experience with this is different and there are so many, many variables but I have very few positive things to say about the Cleveland hospitals and especially about CCF. We could not get straight answers from either facility other than there was no hope and the care at CCF left A LOT to be desired. I do believe that there are still some very good physicians at CCF but the entire experience was very difficult. We ultimately got a third opinion at UPMC through Dr. Gamblin and, although we did not get the answers we hoped for, we did have a much better experience there and felt that we were finally given an explanation that made sense. UPMC did more for my father within the first 24 hours than CCF and UH combined did over 2+ months.
Thank you everyone for your replies. Lainy, I am also in AZ (Ahwatukee) and I read on another post you are just south of Chandler? I did not catch if you have family in this area so if there is ever some way that I can help, please let me know. My Dad is back in the Midwest and my mother and siblings are doing an outstanding job taking care of him. I just feel bad that I cannot be there to help and be with them. The opinions we are pursuing are from the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals of Cleveland and UPMC (Pittsburgh). We have also thought about Sloan Kettering. I think I have seen most of the posts on these centers but if anyone has recent experiences or more information about any of these centers to share, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you again for all of your support.
