For those who went to Cleveland Clinic, is there a particular doctor you would recommend? I've looked over their website many times, but it's hard to even know who to set up a consult with. They all look good.
The guy from Cleveland clinic who did mine was Dr valente.
And on another note when I got sick and the removed my colon the doctor who did it lead me to believe everything was fine and he could do my jpouch. Thank God I went to Cleveland because when they opened me up Dr valente told me the guy was a hack and didn't know what he was doing. I might have been in bad shape if I let him create my pouch.
