Sep 14, 2024
Dr. Ehsan is a skilled and kind heart surgeon. He repaired my mitral valve regurgitation and seven weeks later, I am back to my active life style. It is a gift from God to have had Dr. Ehsan as my surgeon and now have a regular, steady heartbeat. Dr. Ehsan and the entire cardiac staff at Rhode Island Hospital received a 10 star rating from me. Thank you to the entire team.
