Patient Reviews
Jun 04, 2021
Words can not express the professionalism and gratitude I have for Dr Saum. My husband went in for a catheterization, and was told that day that a CABG was really what he needed. Dr. Saum spoke with us and two days later my husband is having the life saving surgery that he needed. Dr Saum truly cares, and tells you exactly what is going on in a very calm manner. He made rounds every day during the hospitalization and answered all our questions. Dr. Saum is the only doctor I would want for cardiac care....
