Patient Reviews
Jan 26, 2022
No doubt this woman was instrumental in saving my life. Six bypasses. Thank God she was doing a rotation at Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne, FL in February 2021. Before surgery, she had techs bring a scanner to my room so SHE could see if she was also going to have to replace a valve and to ensure the artery in my neck was clear. I'll never forget this little 5 foot tall woman patting my shoulder and telling me she had my back. She sure did. Wonderful surgeon that I would want operating on any of my family members if they needed her skilled hands.
