So smart. Explained options. Answered my questions before I asked. A doctor with a purpose. Love.
Dr. Kerendi is such a great doctor. He answered all my questions and concerns I had about my heart condition.
Excellent
Dr. Kerendi was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He took time to get to know me as a person rather than simply a condition to be treated. He answered all my questions in clear language that a lay person could understand and is following up with a CT scan to get the most precise info he can. I left his office feeling the I was in very good hands.
Warm and welcoming, very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions. Special thanks to his nurse Susan for all of her help in scheduling and coordinating procedures.
He is Knowledgeable and confident. We had a good consultation.
Looking forward to future visits
Dr Kerendi explained my surgical options for Aortic valve and root repair thoroughly. I mentioned several procedures to him based on my own research and recommendations by friends who have been in my shoes. Dr Kerendi took the time to explain those procedures, what was right for me for the best and longest lasting repair with the least issues down the road. I’m confident in his experience and our conversation has left my wife and I in a great mental space for the surgery. He is very kind and easy to talk to. I’m grateful for this referral.
We think he is the BEST. We are fortunate to have been recommended to him.
Very attentive and professional. First visit with him and feel very confident he will he me...🙏🙏thank you Dr
