Geoff's Guestbook

Hi Geoff, just reviewing some of the folks who had aortic procedures, or were considering them, at Cleveland Clinic. I go back in October. Any decisions since your July second opinion?

I am seven weeks out from mitral valve repair done by Dr. Gillanov at Cleveland Clinic. I saw a doctor in January and had surgery Feb 24th.  You will not be sorry with CC. I had some issues with VT and ended up with an ICD on March 3rd. The people at Cleveland Clinic are absolutely fantastic. The care was just unbelievable.  We are going tomorrow for my final check on the ICD, and I'm kind of excited to go back under not so stressful a situation. Ha! I wish you the best, and remember that regardless of surgery (breastbone,  minimally invasive,...) the recovery takes time. Six weeks I started to finally feel like I may feel normal again. I am 52 YO and thought I would bounce back in a short time. I am doing very well, but it's a few months together back to "normal".  Best of luck and I can't recommend Cleveland Clinic enough.
