Experience matters. Second opinions matter. If you or someone you care about were told that they need coronary artery bypass or heart valve surgery, ask for a second opinion. If your doctor doesn’t want you to have a second opinion, then trust me, you’re in the wrong office!
I offer ALL of my patients second opinions and I will call any patient who wants a second opinion that very night, speak with them on the phone, and set them up for an office appointment that week!
How can I make that promise? Because I’ve been doing it this way for 33 years and nearly 8,000 surgeries! That’s experience you can trust!
