Jan 10, 2024
I will be indebted to Dr. Minami for the rest of my life. She orchestrated, along with the UW team my very successful heart transplant. There will be no way to extend my fullest gratitude to her. She is incredibly caring, kind, professional and brilliant. Five years later, we continue to praise and remain her loyal patient. ??
