About Me

Hello I'm a 46 year old that was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse about 8years ago. Unfortunately it changed to severe regurgitation and I had trans catheter mitral valve repair on 1/9/23 at cedar Siani with the most amazing surgeon, Dr. Joanna Chikwe. I feel extremely blessed to have been her patient and I'm excited to recover and heal with my newly fixed heart ❤️
