Patient Reviews
Mar 24, 2017
12 years ago I suffered two TIA's. One in Iraq and one when I came home. It was discovered that I needed a PFO closure. I can tell you without a doubt that I had the best doctor. Dr. Smalling put an Amplatzer PFO Occluder in my heart. I went back last year for a 10 year checkup, a little late, here in KY. Everything was great. Dr. Smalling tells you like he sees it but also cares tremendously. I highly recommend.
