I wanted to share my experience with Dr. Chikwe and her amazing staff at Cedar Sinai Schmidt Heart Institute. I was told by two different cardiologists nothing could be done for my mitral valve prolapse. I researched and found Dr. Chikwe who not only recognized and validated my symptoms of gastrointestinal issues, fatigue and heaviness when I went to bed. she explained the Robotic assisted mitral valve prolapse therapy which worked wonders for my heart! I am two weeks out of surgery and am walking 5 blocks already and already feel a big difference in my day to day life. The surgery left a few holes and some a pain although I did not take any pain medication halfway through my stay and non at home except 2 aspirin. my check up went well and I was released to my cardiologist. i am glad I underwent surgery with Dr. Chikwe. She listens, takes patients concerns seriously, provides lots of time for questions. Answers all questions respectfully and she has don’t so many robotically assisted surgeries and her experience is impressive. She is a diligent working surgeon and the week I was there visited me frequently even on weekends! I felt safe and thought about the entire time. Could not recommend a better surgeon for Mitral valve Prolapse robotically assisted surgery.
