He explained things clearly, and in simple English, and took time answering my questions. I also saw him offering to help the nurses and administration staff with computer difficulties, even though he was busy.

Dr. Samaan is the definition of an individual who cares about what he does and goes above and beyond for his patients. As an individual with Ulcerative Colitis, and after doing my research, I specifically wanted to work with him because of his expert knowledge, position within both Cleveland Clinic and Guys and St Thomas’s, and his bedside manner. He truly is the best of all worlds and working with him and his thoughtful, highly-effective team gives me significant peace of mind.m and hope. I could not possibly recommend this individual enough. I am beyond thrilled to have him as my doctor.

Doctor Mark Samaan is an excellent specialist. He clearly had reviewed my notes and thought about my potential treatment plan prior to my appointment. He asked detailed questions and had fantastic communication skills. I could not recommend him more highly.
