Patient Reviews
Aug 19, 2024
Hubby had open heart surgery at citrus memorial inverness, fl. Dr. Van Gelder was absolutely amazing. He explained everything to us. Was courteous, great bedside manner and treated us with respect. We felt safe with him. We highly recommend him. But he just fills in when the regular surgeon in not there. We also had Dr Topi which is also a top notch cardiac Doc. We recommend him too.
