About Me (In My Own Words)
I'm a loving mother, happily married and work as an office/billing manager at a local Orthotics and Prosthetics office. I was diagnosed as having a heart murmur and hole in my heart at 3, then MVP in my early 20's. I also have two minor blockages/CAD. Strong family history of heart disease.
I found out that I flipped to a severe leak when I went to my cardiologist stressed over finding out that my mom needed a sternotomy to replace her mitral valve. She had already undergone a double bypass and 24 stents. The doctor decided to do an echo to check up on me and discovered the severe leak. It's been a rollercoaster ride since.
After witnessing my mom's sternotomy/mitral and tricuspid valve repair under the great care of Dr. Adams and Dr. Anyanwu out of Mount Sinai, I decided to look into a lesser invasive procedure and am scheduled for robotic repair out of NYU with Dr. Loulmet.
