May 14, 2024
He saved my life ! He found my undx Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome and closed my PFO. My O2 sats were dropping to mid to low 80s with activity. I now have a quality of life to realistically enjoy my retirement. I just can't say enough as to how much I appreciated his expert, professional, caring and empathic care and approach. Highly recommend!!
