Patient Reviews
Jul 06, 2023
My husband was medevac to Morristown for an emergent aortic dissection. Dr slayer explained the surgery to me prior wheeling him into the OR and sat with my family after surgery explaining how things went. My husband survived the surgery and is now home recovering each day getting stronger. No pain from surgery. Dr Slater is our “rockstar”. Not many of these surgeries are performed and from what I read there are only 200,000 cases in the US making it rare. I cannot say enough good words about Dr Slater. My husband will be around to walk my daughter down the aisle next year. He made this possible. He has so much patience and a great bedside manner
