I have known Dr Mena professionally for many years. I recently had a friend in urgent need of bypass surgery. Despite the complications Covid has imposed on the health care system, he was able to find a way to schedule his surgery. My friend and his wife absolutely fell in love with his bedside manner and expertise. Thank you Jose for saving a friend. I know you do it every day, but this was personal. All the best.
