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.
Very helpful. Made me feel much better about my upcoming surgery!
Explained everything where we understood. Very kind.
Dr Kerendi is very knowledgeable, actually listened to my concerns, and answered all my questions. Explained plans and procedures understandably. Calm, confident demeanor, and very approachable.
