Vincent Gaudiani, MD - Heart Surgeon Receives Patient Praise

Recently, I received an exciting email from Cheryl Boney, one of my readers. Cheryl recently had heart valve surgery. She wrote to me:

“Adam - I had my heart valve replaced at Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City by Dr. Vincent Gaudiani on November 16, 2007. I returned home to Fresno five days later, on November 21st.”

Cheryl continues, “May I suggest that you add my surgeon and cardiac care facility to your list. If you check the credentials of each you will find they deserve being added to your “top heart surgeon” list. The quality of care was PHENOMENAL!”

I have to admit, there is nothing better than receiving an email like this.

First, I am thrilled for Cheryl that she made it through her procedure with flying colors! Second, the fact that she is enthusiastic about the experience and result is inspiring. And third, I am always interested in learning more about cardiothoracic surgeons and cardiac care centers - considering there are quite a few of them out there.

The conclusion of Cheryl’s email:

“Adam - Thank you again for sharing your thoughts in your book and blog. I cannot tell you how my anxiety was relieved when I recalled what I had read in your book about what happens after the operation. Lastly, I would like to add with great sincerity and heart-felt thanks to the little pig that was sacrificed so that I can live a full life.”
