Christopher T I don’t have any recommendations but look for surgeons who specialize in ROSS. Adam pick the man behind this website might have recommendations. I suggest asking him. He had the ROSS done. What I have learned is a lot of the surgeons specialize in specific procedures. As far as travel yes travel into get the best. One surgeon I listened to said it best. “ people will travel for a trip to Disney world but not for a very important surgery “ after I heard this I made up my mind.

Dan Fouratt Larry, I am not a doctor so take this for what it is worth. I had an aortic valve replaced. I was willing to travel where my odds were the best. I was also lucky enough to have a friend who is a leading cardiologist in another state. I sent him everything and as a friend he assured me the Duke was more then sufficient so I stayed at home. However after reading abut the Ross and the people here who had it I would have traveled for that procedure. Good Luck on your journey

Grace Mason I recommend choosing a Ross Center. I traveled to NYC for Dr El-Hamamsy 15 months ago. I recommend him and his team very highly. Other Ross surgeons that I know other members have used that you may wish to consult with are Starnes at USC, Burke at UW and Malaisrie in Chicago.

susan harris Cedar Sinai in CA (but i am not sure of specific surgeon names) and Dr El Hamamsy at Mt Sinai in NYC. Go to videos section on this site and view Ross Procedure videos. Just my assessment:there are surgeons who say they do Ross and list it in their expertise and those who really do Ross-you want the later. PS At least for us, Cleveland Clinic was not pro-Ross. Maybe if you get to a pediatric surgeon, but for adults, it was a battle for us that we walked away from.
