Comment - “ Mitral Valve Repair Review ”
I can't say enough about my experience with Dr. Chikwe and her surgical team. I had a Mitral Valve surgical repair in mid July. I interviewed with several Cardiac surgeons and felt the most comfortable with Dr. Chikwe. She was very professional in her explanation of how she would perform the procedure and what I should anticipate in recovery. I am now 3 weeks out of surgery and am getting stronger every day. I would highly recommend Dr. Chikwe for any cardiac procedures.
