"In July 2023, Dr. Ailawadi repaired my mitral valve at University of Michigan Health in Ann Arbor. Prior to the surgery, I had quite a few questions and he spent a lot of time graciously answering all of them. Dr. Ailawadi is one of the most accomplished thoracic surgeons you will ever find. Having someone like him, with the expertise and number of successful procedures, combined with his compassion and awesome bedside manner, has been a great blessing. Facing open heart surgery can be overwhelming, but knowing he was doing the procedure was more than reassuring to me and my family.
He is absolutely one of the best, and I cannot say enough good things about him. I'll be forever grateful to Dr. Ailawadi and his incredible team."

"He’s the best. I had a mini-repair with no sternotomy with a much quicker recovery. He’s a very kind and caring man and all his patients love him. "

"Three years ago, Dr. Ailawadi repaired my mitral valve when no heart surgeon would. Other surgeons only wanted to replace the diseased valve. Dr. Ailawadi assured me he could do it, and he did. He went above and beyond in my care. I highly recommend Dr. Ailwadi. "

"Dr. Ailawadi has the best bedside manner of any surgeon I have ever met. He allowed me to pick the type of heart valve I would get if I could depending on my anatomy once he opened me up. My surgical results have been excellent and I'm on my way to recovery. I start cardiac rehab next week.
I have my good and bad days but as a whole I would never have picked anybody else to do my surgery!"
