"I had two previous repair surgeries on my mitral valve done by different doctors. Both failed in just a few years. Dr. Hampton was able to replace my mitral valve using minimally-invasive procedures by going in between the ribs rather than doing open heart surgery.

I was out of the hospital in 3 days and back to normal daily routines within a week. I am now 3 weeks out from surgery and am back to exercising, driving, and enjoying life.

Dr. Hampton was great throughout the process and answered all of my questions and gave me great advice and perspective. He literally saved my life. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing heart valve repair or replacement. He is one of the top surgeons in Washington state for good reason."

"Dr. Hampton was very easy to talk to; he answered all my questions about my mitral valve replacement surgery and added valuable recommendations for me to consider. He replaced my mitral valve in a "minimally invasive surgery", and I was able to resume most of my daily routine after 3 weeks. It's been over a year since my surgery; I feel much better than I did before the valve replacement and I am grateful for Dr. Hampton's skill."

"Outstanding surgeon. Great bedside manner. Thoroughly explained procedure. Doctor Hampton performed a mini-thoracotomy. I had aortic valve regurgitation and I will definitely have him do any required surgery."
