George Gardopee I suggest you look at Dr. Castro at Sequoia. If I lived in CA I would have requested to see him. There are videos on this site that I think you can view. Go to Surgeon Finder on this site, then insert the name Castro. Unless I misunderstand your request; I don’t know if Dr Castro is within the Kaiser system. Good luck!

Iggy I Hi Adela, I don't have personal experience with Kaiser thoracic surgery, although I understand your concern and lack of information as a Kaiser patient. Apart form choosing a surgeon the most important thing to know for a successful MV repair is high volume of of performed surgeries. You get the best first shot at a repair and its important to choose your surgeon wisely. I ended up traveling out of state to get my surgery and had to switch my insurance. Look into Mt.Sinai and Dr. Adams if you have options.

Susan Lynn Adela - Wish we had an answer for you. It may be necessary to reach out to Kaiser to see who is participating, then you could ask the heart warriors on this site if they've had any experience with them. Do you have an option to switch plans at the beginning of the year? There are many excellent surgeons in CA who may be available to you with different coverage. Just a thought if you'd like to go out of your current network. Best of luck with your research. ❤
