Patient Reviews
Mar 23, 2021
After multiple stints, it was time for a bypass. No one wants to hear those words, but I was referred to Dr. Gheissari by my cardiologist and he and his staff are great. They did an outstanding job. His PA's - Roland and Jocelyn are top notch, spending time with a very anxious patient before and after the surgery. Dr. Gheissari is very skilled in his profession and I would highly recommend him.
