Patient Reviews
Jul 22, 2024
Dr. Murray Kwon was recommended by my cardiologist for my dilated aortic root. He listened attentively, explained options clearly, and minimized incision size, which was important. I was a candidate for valve-sparing aortic root replacement, which resolved my moderate aortic regurgitation. Surgery was promptly scheduled, with thorough pre-op coordination by his assistant, Rafi Boghossian. At UCLA Ronald Reagan, the intake was efficient. The OR nurses kept my family informed of progress during the surgery. Post-surgery in the ICU, attentive care accelerated my recovery. My recovery has been excellent--at 3 days post discharge I walked 5000 steps and could climb up a couple flights of stairs without issue. Overall, my experience with Dr. Kwon and his team at UCLA has been exceptional. I am incredibly grateful for the care and attention I received throughout this entire process. Dr. Kwon’s expertise, compassion, and dedication to his patients are truly commendable. Highly recommended!
