Patient Reviews
Aug 25, 2023
She is a Rock Star!! I had robotic bypass and from the initial visit where she took time to explain the process in detail, through her team scheduling pre-op testing, the surgery itself to final clearance 2 weeks later, she and her team were great! Everyone in the hospital brags on them. Very little pain from the procedure with the way they managed it and recovery was rapid. Would recommend Dr Gresch, her team and NE GA Heart Center to anyone.
