Susan Lynn Welcome, Ellen. Dr. David Adams at Mt. Sinai is nationally known for his expertise in mitral valve repair. Whomever you and your husband choose, just be sure to select a high volume mitral valve surgeon who has a long history of successful repairs. Research is key. While proximity to your home may be a consideration, it's way down on the list of priorities. A little inconvenience is worth it for the right surgeon, team, and facility. Best of luck in your search!

Leona Resch Hi Ellen ! I’m originally from Long Island and actually worked as a nurse at St. Francis back in the 80’s/ quite a long time ago! Lol So much had changed since then’! I now live in the Princeton nj area and had an avr with Dr. Girardi , chief at NY Presbyterian Weill Cornell. People come from all over the world to see him/ excellent surgeon and team. I have also heard Dr. Adams is superb. We are fortunate to have such great hospitals and talented surgeons so close. Good luck with everything! I’m happy to try and answer any questions you may have!
