This is the 1st time I’ve heard Dr. Adams’ voice since a day or so after my repair on Feb. 3, 09. I am simply humbled by his skills, his dedication & his passion for doing what is best for the patient. My surgery was to be about 4 hours. It was 8 hrs. & included a ring being placed around my tricuspid valve as well. That was not in the “plan” the day prior to surgery. In fact the day prior to surgery I told Dr. Adams that if he got in there & just could not do a repair that I would understand & would leave it up to him to select the type of mechanical replacement valve. I knew I was in the best of hands. Even with me telling him this … he hung in there for the EXTRA 4 to 4.5 hours to give me a BEAUTIFUL repair that works 100%!!! HOW do you ever thank a person for that type of dedication??? Just by being in awe, by showing EVERYONE my “before” & “after” pictures … and by having him chosen as “Heart Valve Surgeon of the Month” on this widely read blog!!! Thank you Adam for honoring him in this way. Thank you Dr. David Adams from LITERALLY the “bottom” of my heart!! YOU ARE my hero!!! Cynthia Tarver … a way over here in CA!!!
