"Dr. Brinster and the staff at Lenox Hill Hospital were amazing. He is an amazing surgeon, my procedure went well with no complications, I was home in 6 days. My recovery went extremely well and I played my 1st round of golf at 7 weeks post surgery. You can barely see my scare from the sternotomy."

"Dr. Derek Brinster was the absolute best. He instilled confidence to me that everything was going to be okay. He was wonderful to my family. I am 54 and feel like I did in my 30's! First impression of Dr. Brinster was young, confident, and very intelligent. He is the best. Saved my life!"
