Patient Reviews
Nov 13, 2024
May 19, 2022 My dad had a heart attack, he arrived at the hospital around 1pm, they were not able to insert stints into his arteries so he needed a bypass surgery. around 2pm Dr. Marks was called in. I was on my way from Atlanta to Wilmington at 3pm and they told us it would be about 3-4 hours, so I figured by the time I got to Wilmington I would have heard that my father was out of surgery and doing well. Well I arrived at 9:10pm and he had just gotten out of surgery and was not doing good. Dr. Marks, told my family it was 50 50 and that his arteries were very diseased and that he would wake up hopefully around Sunday. Well Saturday morning my dad was awake and on a pump keeping his heart beating. he deteriorated after that for 6 months. In November 2022 He was blessed by an angel and given a new heart at Duke Hospital and is in absolutely great shape today. If it wasnt for Dr. Marks and Dr. Rommel, we would have lost my Dad. Thank you for saving my Dad. We owe you!
