Patient Reviews
Mar 16, 2024
Dr Dharan exudes a calm, confident professionalism. The moment I entered his care I knew I was in excellent hands. Dr. Dharan repaired my mitral valve prolapse with a minimally invasive procedure between the ribs and achieved a perfect repair of my valve. I’m so grateful to not have an artificial or tissue replacement. I was able to go home after just three days and my recovery is going well. Thank you Dr. Dharan!
