Patient Reviews
Oct 10, 2019
Dr. James Hemp performed my triple bypass surgery in April, 2017. He did a superb job. His pre surgical manner was fantastic. He was honest, yet compassionate. I had no complications. I was very impressed with his post surgical removal if drainage tubes. Fast, accurate, skillful. Amazing. Follow up care was very thorough. Wonderful.
