Oct 30, 2019
Terrific surgeon! In April 2019, Dr Gert Pretorius surgically (open heart) replaced my aortic valve, bypassed two partial blockages in heart arteries, and performed a heart "MAZE" procedure for elimination of Afib. The operation went great and my healing has been swift. Feeling very strong now, and I'm walking 3 miles per day for exercise.
