New user on this feed here. I'm 36 and newly diagnosed w/ MVP and moderate-severe mitral regurgtation. Was very disappointed to find that there are no mitral repair reference centers in the entire state of Texas. Anyone have tips on getting this type of surgery at an otherwise out-of-network center w/ excellent outcomes and figuring out insurance? Freaking out a little.

Michael Smith I have had an appointment for 6 months with Dr. Marc Gerdisch for a mitral valve repair (surgery November 5th). His office called and he unfortunately had a medical issue and will not be able to do surgery for some time. I am considering Cleveland clinic and Marc Gillinov. Anyone have thoughts about him or other surgeons there that do mitral repairs. Thanks
