Patient Reviews
Feb 13, 2025
It was my great good fortune to meet Dr. Heitman at the physical low point of my life. Dr. Heitman performed an aerotic dissecton, an operation that comes with a 20%-50% mortality rate, based on time since the heart event. I was a healthy 79 year old man but with that age comes more risk. Today, less than a month since my heart event, I am walking testimony to Dr. Heitman's skill. His support group is also top notch, truly inspirig.
