Patient Reviews
Jul 14, 2016
Dr. Balsam put an aortic tissue valve in my heart in April 2014. She did an excellent job, as did everyone on the surgical staff. I have the highest regard for her surgical abilities (and also for her as a person) and would not hesitate to have her be my surgeon again. Anyone with the sort of valve problem I had would be very lucky to get her.
