3 Patient Reviews for
Dr. Upham

"I couldn’t have found a better or more personal surgeon. He answered all questions and elevated my fears. I trusted him from my first appointment. "

-- Jayne Sanderson , Aortic Valve, Valve Replacement, 09/10/2022

"I had a mitral valve repair with Dr. Upham. I could not have asked for a more caring and professional team to lead me through this experience. My surgery was a success from beginning to end. Dr. Upham took the time to explain every aspect of my surgery in depth with me before hand. He even sent me for a heart cath to make sure I had no blockages, which let me know he was very concerned with my health and well-being, not just a quick in-and-out. If I had to have the surgery again, he certainly will be my first choice."
