Self-verified patient of Dr. René Krishnan
wrote a review 14th Mar 2018
Came in for the first time and had a horrible experience with Dr. Rene Krishnan for neurosurgery. I have visited a different hospital prior to visiting Cleveland clinic. Hence I visited this place to have a second opinion in regards to my medical condition. I shared with Dr. Rene Krishnan what my previous doctor informed me, which as a patient is my right so that i may take a better decision in regards to my medical condition. . I don’t know if this doctor has a huge ego or has so much pride or what? He became extremely rude and disrespectful and did not want to hear what the other doctor informed me. I will never visit this hospital again and will never recommend this hospital to anyone. With an attitude like this I don’t know how anyone could feel safe going under the knife with him as a doctor. - by Khalifa Abdallah
