Search for heart hospitals that specialize in heart valve treatment.
Dr. Junaid Khan is a leading cardiac surgeon who specializes in minimally-invasive heart valve surgery.
I feel like a lifetime has elapsed since my surgery. There is no hiding it, the recovery from open heart surgery is not easy. Lest I forget, I have an approximately an 8" scar on my chest. I am not really as self conscious of it as I was, but with my fair skin, the scar shows in nearly everything I wear. On the brighter side, I can breath easily while I am walking. I think I still tire too easily, but blame is on being 62 :)
I owe my life to an amazing team of surgeons, nurses, assistants, and anyone I missed. I am so very grateful to you all and to my cardiologist for continuing care. <3
