Kristin- I was referred to Dr. Murphy at Emory St Joseph’s for robotic mitral valve repair. I don’t know if he is retired but Dr. Halkos is at same campus and does robotic repair. My mitral valve is doing great, but my aortic aneurysms were not addressed in my initial work up. Complicated story. I went to Cleveland Clinic for my aortic root and ascending aneurysms 1/2024. Had excellent care there. Piedmont has a big heart center too. It is ok to get a couple opinions. Emory and Piedmont both have good heart centers. I have an excellent cardiologist, electrophysiologist, and cardiology PA at Emory.

Kristin Vano Thank you for the information, Patty 😀

J Alexander Lassally Hi Kristin - The big existential question you will need to answer for yourself is "to robot or not to robot." Plusses and minuses to the options. Generally, robotic surgeries take longer.
