About Me

I was diagnosed with severe Mitral Value Regurgitation. I never knew in had a problem. My local doctor sent me to a surgeon who only does the Mitral Value repair by open heart surgery. I took some time to locate Dr. Trento who does the minimally invasive DaVinci Robotic Surgery. I am anxious to proceed although I have anxiety about missing the birth of my second granddaughter with a due date of mid July.
