Hi Sheila,
I just read your story and I wanted to get back to you. I too had AVR at Cleveland Clinic June 2016 and my surgeon was also Dr. Tong. I did just fine and really just had a couple of issues come up after surgery. Dr. Tong was wonderful. My care by the nursing staff was just excellent. They took such good care of me.
I am going to be at Cleveland Clinic Oct.30 until ??? My husband is having a colon resection on the 31st. He will be in the Crile Hospital. If you need any help or just someone to talk to I could possibly visit with you. I would be happy to help you in any way I can. Call if you'd like: Diane 864-979-4996. Wishing you the best!
