I’m in the area and can highly recommend Dr. Luis Castro at Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City. I talked to several surgeons at UCSF and at PAMF, and Dr. Castro was the only one I would trust with my heart. I had exactly the same diagnosis as you do and they specialize in valve surgery at Sequoia. They are a small and personal hospital as well so it might be worth a look! Best of luck!
P.S. Dr. Castro is the highest rated surgeon on the site so you can check out what others say.
I had Mitral Valve Repair 9/28/16 and just had my 3 year post-op ECHO. My heart continues to get back to normal, I feel better than I had for years, and am SO PLEASED at my results. I am a physician and I was so impressed with my care at Sequoia. I highly recommend the hospital, Dr. Castro, and his team!
