Patient Reviews
Nov 04, 2016
We were extremely fortunate to have such a brilliant, kind, peaceful, hopeful and immense experienced heart surgeon saving our lives in West Virginia. His gift can never be challenged and our loss is California's gain. It was a pleasure to know the gentleman he is and a priveledge to experience the genius he is. He is the best cardiac surgeon in the country. No one could come close to his lbrilliance.
