Jeff, thanks so much for your reply. I am scheduled for surgery at Mt Sinai on 3/12 with Dr David Adams. I will be having a three valve operation. Repair for the mitral and tricuspid and aortic replacement with a bovine valve (I'm 71). We may see each other!

Jeff Frutkin Oh wow. I am scheduled for 3/20 but will be omitted on 3/18 for the surgery prep. Best of luck to you. I am having two of your three (mitral and tricuspid) vale repairs. Best of luck to you. I will ask for you when I arrive on 3/18. Actually, would you want to connect over the phone? My cell is 312-890-5502. I'm 53.
Him Jeff, do you mind saying how you decided on Dr Gillinov?

Jeff Frutkin Hi Cleve, thanks for reaching out. I actually did a pivot today and decided to go with Dr. Adams from Mount Sinai for my mitral valve repair after meeting with him. My impression is that both Dr. Gillinov and Dr. Adams are two of the top mitral valve surgeons in the country based on their volume of repairs and outcomes. I chose Dr. Adams because he said he was 99% sure he could repair the valve.
