John: David Adams and Allan Stewart at Mount Sinai were tops on my list. I went to Cleveland Clinic due to proximity. I had narrowed hospitals to Mayo, Cleveland Clinic and Mount Sinai. You should be able to find patients here who have had these physicians make repairs.

Dr. Michael Argenziano was my surgeon from NY Presbyterian....a wonderful surgeon, a wonderful, kind, funny man. I had mitral valve replacement and am 8 months post surgery and feel phenomenal!!! Check him out for sure!

I just had a consult with Dr. Adams and am scheduled for surgery on July 19. I feel very confident after meeting with Dr. Adams that he is the best surgeon for the job.
