Hi all, New member here. 61 yr old male, excellent health, recently diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse requiring repair. Has anyone had any positive experiences with New York metro surgeons? Thanks
I've had Mitral Valve Repair ☺ but not in New York.
Yes! Dr Galloway at NYU! Did my repair 3/28 and everything is wonderful!
I had a mitral valve repair but not in NY. Welcome to the group and good luck finding a surgeon. NY has a lot of good hospitals & surgeons!
I had my mitral valve repaired at NY Presbyterian - Cornell on March 25th by Dr Girardi. Full sternectomy. All went well and I'm back jogging already.
Presbyterian hospital Manhattan has a great reputation and rating ❤️ Best regards John🌷
Mitral valve repair but not in NY. Welcome
John: David Adams and Allan Stewart at Mount Sinai were tops on my list. I went to Cleveland Clinic due to proximity. I had narrowed hospitals to Mayo, Cleveland Clinic and Mount Sinai. You should be able to find patients here who have had these physicians make repairs.
Dr. Michael Argenziano was my surgeon from NY Presbyterian....a wonderful surgeon, a wonderful, kind, funny man. I had mitral valve replacement and am 8 months post surgery and feel phenomenal!!! Check him out for sure!
I just had a consult with Dr. Adams and am scheduled for surgery on July 19. I feel very confident after meeting with Dr. Adams that he is the best surgeon for the job.
