Sharon Behl Yes, if you have the resources, I agree. Go to the hospital with the best services for you. This past November I went from home in Colorado to Mount Sinai in NYC for Dr. David Adams' re-repair expertise. Best health decision I ever made.

Grace Mason I also traveled for my surgeon from the Cincinnati area to Mt Sinai in NYC to have my surgery with Dr El-Hamamsy. Your heart is a big deal. Go to the best choice for your situation and get more than one opinion.

Barbara deLoache Hi William, Your question is one I have as well. I am not sure at this point when I will have surgery. I live in Asheville NC and going to a major heart hospital is not possible for me financially or because I don’t have anyone who could stay with me in that area during my hospitalization and plane trip home. Fortunately we have excellent cardiac surgeons here and our hospital is known to have an excellent “heart tower”. Even so, I am a retired OR nurse who knows a bit about cardiac surgery & wants “ the best!”. If you have the funds, go for expertise!
