Patient Reviews
Dec 17, 2021
Dr. Curtis Hunter performed a quintuple bypass on me in September 2018 when he was affiliated with UCLA Medical Center. I was not an ER case, so Dr. Hunter and my cardiologist thoroughly explained my situation while showing me the angiogram. The pros and cons of different options were explained to me at length. In the weeks leading up to the surgery Dr. Hunter without fail answered questions that I had. All bypass surgeries are gnarly, but I couldn't be happier with the results, as I write this 3+ years after the fact. To top things off, he is a very pleasant gentleman who listens carefully to his patients, and speaks to them in an understandable and courteous manner.
