    Cleveland Clinic Appointment

    A little history:

    Was diagnosed in 1993, Pacer in 1995, Myectomy 1999, ICD 2001. I'm currently taking 200mg of Lopressor twice daily.

    I have an appointment January 30 with Dr. Thamilarasan at the Cleveland Clinic. Any opinions of this doctor? Should I request a different physician?

    Re: Cleveland Clinic Appointment

    the cleveland clinic is one of the best in the world so you can't go far wrong no matter who you see. if they know you have hcm, then they took it into consideration when they booked you. if they don't, let them know.

    let us know how it goes

      Dr. Lever and Asher see most of the HCM patients. I would check to see if they are available.
      I do not know this person, he/she may be wonderful but I have no information on him/her.

        Hi, I saw your posting about Dr. Thamilarasan. I have worked with a couple of times. I am a nurse at the Cleveland Clinic. I am not aware if he specializes in HOCM but he is a very personal Dr. We met once when he was admitting a patient and to this day he still smiles to me and says hello when I pass him in the halls. Quite a big task at the Cleveland Clinic. I am curious to hear what he recommends for you! take care and good luck.
