I am very happy to announce that Dr. Luis Castro<\/a>, a leading cardiac surgeon at MarinHealth Heart and Vascular Institute, has just become the first cardiac surgeon to receive 200 testimonials<\/a> from patients in the HeartValveSurgery.com community.\u00a0 Woo-Hoo!!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As you may know, Dr. Castro has been part of our community for over 10 years.\u00a0 During that time, Dr. Castro has provided extraordinary surgical outcomes for many patients with all types of heart valve disease and related cardiac conditions including atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease and aortic aneurysms.\u00a0 In addition, Dr. Castro has personally helped me create a lot of educational content about heart valve surgery for patients.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. Castro’s Patients Say…<\/h2>\n

I have always been amazed by Dr. Castro’s “patient centric” approach to care and comfort.\u00a0 So you know, Dr. Castro gives his phone number patients just in case they (or their families) have questions throughout their surgical journey.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gina Fiorentino, a mitral valve patient, shared with me, “Five gold stars for Dr. Castro and his entire team. From the initial consult through the whole process, I knew I was in the good hands. Doctor Castro has an excellent reputation (and very high success rate) as a valve specialist (especially with the mitral valve being the most complex valve in the heart). It was such a bonus to have such a thoughtful, experienced and attentive surgeon through my whole surgery experience. If I ever needed another surgery, I would definitely choose Dr. Castro!”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tom Fitzmorris, an aortic valve patient who now surfs with Dr. Castro, says this, “As a very active 50-something year old (surfer, running, swimming, etc.), I found myself increasingly fatigued even during the day at work and began going home and sleeping for 1-2 hours before dinner.\u00a0 Dr. Castro gave me his cell phone number so that I could reach him at any time with questions, as he does for all his patients. The surgery was perfect and I was out of the hospital by day five. Dr. Castro and all of his surgical team came and saw me at least twice during that week.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many Thanks to Dr. Castro!<\/h2>\n

On behalf of the patients in our community, I would like to extend a mighty \u201cThank You!!!\u201d to Dr. Luis Castro for his dedication to helping patients with heart valve disease.<\/p>\n
