Patient Reviews
Aug 08, 2017
Dr Spann replaced my rapidly deteriorating aortic valve in 2009. Surgery involved replacing my aortic valve with a bio-prosthetic & Sternal Talons to close my sternum based on his recommendations. I expected recovery to be difficulty but was astonished at how rapidly it went with very little discomfort and little inconvenience. In less than 6 weeks, I was back at work and, since, gone on to live an active life. I have recommended Dr Spann to my closest friends as a truly excellent surgeon.
