Dr. Gaga performed my heart surgery....CABGx2, aortic valve replacement and myectomy last February. Never had any pain from the surgery. In fact, only discomfort at all was swelling of feel and legs and the bruising post op. Dr.Gaca wins heaps of praise from me, my daughter and rest of family and friends too. The BEST!!
