I've said it before and, hopefully, I will be saying it again.... I love hearing from the patients in our community after their surgeries!

This time, Shelly Gould, from Redding, California, sent me a collage of her first anniversary from mitral valve repair. Doctor Luis Castro performed Shelly's surgery.
