"An Australian trained physician, Dr. McGiffin is a very precise individual. He is known at UAB as the caretaker of the heart. His bedside manner is impeccable. I had 2 mechanical valves installed due to Endocarditus. I would recommend him fully."

"Very experienced and skilled. Handles questions with ease. Came strongly recommended. Open to discussing options - he is experienced with them all. Impressive team. UAB cadiac nurses were very professional yet warm; very skilled at handling whatever came up. "

"I did a thorough research study on Dr. McGiffin and once I met with him I knew he was the surgeon for me. Even though he's old school and opens you up, I believe that was the only solution to my problem. He fully explained what he was going to do and what I could expect right after the surgery and for the months ahead. He visited me several times before surgery to see if I had any last minute questions and also after the surgery."

"Dr McGiffin was very relaxed and friendly with an excellent bedside manner.I felt very confident after meeting him. The nurses and everyone on his team had only positive things to say about him. I was justified in my opinion. Everything went very well. The hospital was clean and well run, and the cardiac nurses outstanding."
