MetroHealth Dialogue Feature Story      
MetroHealth Heart & Vascular Center program keeps heart failure patients out of the hospital  

Heart & Vascular Center program keeps heart failure patients out of the hospital

Team approach, vast therapies lead to healthy lives

"There's often a perception that anyone can treat heart failure patients," says Mark Dunlap, MD. "But numerous studies have shown that patients can really benefit from a comprehensive team approach."

New Chair of Medicine brings invention in GI, obesity and stem cell research

Wolfe is a leader and bridge-builder

"When a physician refers to specialists at MetroHealth, it’s a two-way, not a one-way street. It is imperative that we make them feel like they are part of the team," says M. Michael Wolf, MD.

 
       
       
Services expanded for allergy sufferers  

Services expanded for allergy sufferers

Infusion therapy capabilities increased

"The clinic is a state-of-the-art facility. Most places do not have a freestanding allergy and infusion setup as we do, with a dedicated staff and area," says Akhilesh Chouksey, MD.

Expertise in neuroradiology drives referrals, saves lives

Ensures ensure an optimal strategy for each patient

"The satisfaction doctors get when they reverse a stroke is one of the best feelings in medicine," says Steven Reed, MD. "The patient enters paralyzed and is able to leave the hospital on his own."

 
       
       
Timothy Moore, MD: Experienced spine surgeon cautious about elective surgery  

Experienced spine surgeon cautious about elective surgery

Surgical treatment more effective for neck area and spinal cord

"Surgery for most issues with the spine should be a last resort. Many issues with the back can be helped or get better without surgery," says Timothy Moore, MD.
