Oct 06, 2019
I recently visited Dr.Michael Wait for a consultation after my angiogram. He was so thorough in explaining from the image. I wish he had performed my own heart surgery over 2 years ago. He is the best When it comes to open heart surgery. He is very kind, approachable, highly skilled. I highly recommend him to anyone.
