I must have watched it a hundred times before the surgery. The way Dr. Trento describes the procedure put my mind at ease. Surely, you understand on how valuable the heart valve community is. From a patient&#8217;s perspective, it was truly a divine gift. No 43-year old, who was training for a half marathon, is expecting to be told, &#8216;Your valve is blown and it needs repair.&#8217; But, Dr. Trento was the Man. His talent and skill as well as his bedside manner is without parallel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely loved reading that from Josh!!!!\u00a0 If you are curious, here&#8217;s the video Josh is referring to.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ANcCwBnEl4E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Thanks Josh &amp; Dr. Trento!<\/h2>\n<p>I can&#8217;t thank Josh enough. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s so great to see how the &#8220;I&#8217;m Back&#8221; shirt is helping patients throughout their recovery. <\/p>\n<p>And, I really appreciate Josh taking the time to let me know how our educational resources are helping patients avoid stress, know what to expect and have great surgical outcomes.\u00a0 Also, many thanks to Dr. Alfredo Trento and his entire team at Cedars-Sinai for taking such great care of Josh!!!<\/p>\n<p>Related Links:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3b5dHci\">Get the &#8220;I&#8217;m Back&#8221; Recovery T-Shirt<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/surgeons\/dr-Alfredo-Trento-Los+Angeles-California.php\">See Dr. Trento&#8217;s Interactive Surgeon Profile<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/hospital\/cedars-sinai-heart-institute\">Explore the Cedars-Sinai Heart Valve Microsite<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep on tickin!<br \/>\nAdam<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33476,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-adams-updates"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33467"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33467\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33495,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33467\/revisions\/33495"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
