"I cannot praise him enough. He is reputed to the best in the country. His bedside manner is fine. I have no criticism"

"Dr. Hartzell Schaff and his team are among the elite in value replacement surgery. Excellent outcomes! Aortic valve replaced and five week recovery...no issues! Highly recommend Mayo Rochester with Dr. Hartzell!"

"My surgeon was very matter of the fact, not alot of small talk. His is the best in the business of knowing carcinoid valve disorder. He saved my life! I would highly recommend him."

"Dr Schaff and everyone at Mayo were absolutely wonderful. I could not have asked for anything better. At our first consult my gut feeling was of complete trust. I highly recommend him especially if you may be a candidate for a repair vs. replacement. His repair percentage is very high."

"Dr. Schaff and his staff was fantastic. Great bedside manner and Mayo Clinic is top notch! After our initial visit with Dr Schaff we immediately knew he would be the one to do my surgery. Two years later with my mechanical valve, I'm doing great!"

"He was the most amazing surgeon!! My recovery was amazing!I was back at work less than two months after surgery. My surgery was performed at the Mayo Clinic. I would only recommend Dr. Schaff as anyone's heart surgeon. He is TOP NOTCH!!"
