Excellent meeting with Dr. Kerendi, everyone was very nice and helpful.
Dr Kerendi is rated one of the top surgeons in the country for very good reasons. He repaired my mitral valve less than a month ago. I can say he fixed my heart and there are no other issues. His pre surgery visits were detailed and informative. The surgery process was seemless. I would 100% recommend him to my family and friends.
