"Dr. Guler was excellent. At the initial meeting he took the time to answer the manner questions and concerns I had. He was reassuring and fully explained the aortic valve replacement options and their pros and cons. He met with my husband while I was in recovery to let him know how the surgery went and approximately when I would be moved to ICU. He and other members of his staff checked in on me daily while I was in the hospital and again answered any questions we had.
The heart valve replacement and bypasses have healed well and I am feeling so much better. The care was seamless, caring and professional from Dr. Guler and the staff with whom he works.
Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Dr. Guler and the Northwestern Medicine Cardiac team in Winfield."
-- Carol Pasker, Aortic Valve, Valve Replacement, Root Replacement, Coronary Artery Bypass, 10/04/2024
"Dr. Guler was excellent in reviewing all the diagnostic data to point out the need for surgery. The surgery was planned for 3 months to accommodate dental clearance.
The procedure went well and 4 weeks later I am walking up to a mile a day and feeling stronger each day. Dr. Guler released me from his care with a smile. He was fantastic and glad he did the procedure. Thanks to him and his team!"
-- Phillip Egebrecht, Aortic Valve, Valve Replacement, Coronary Artery Bypass, 09/05/2024
"From the very first meeting and consultation in the hospital with Dr. Guler, I felt a sense of calm going into the required scheduled surgery.
His confidence and bedside manner in providing reassurance of the projected successful outcome contributed to my positive outlook to the outcome.
In addition, his entire team from the days leading up to surgery, pre-surgery, post-surgery recovery, through the follow-up appointments were all terrific in being knowledgeable, caring, and supportive. It is a reflection on Dr. Guler to have this great of an overall supporting team."
-- Rob Warder, Aortic Valve, Mitral Valve, Valve Repair, Valve Replacement, 08/09/2024
"Dr. Erhan Guler, in my experience, is a top heart surgeon who knows how to treat these problems and will do his best to give you the best possible result.
He has great concern for each individual patient and will make sure that you understand the procedure and all that is involved. He also has intensive follow-up after the procedure to make sure that you are recovering well. I have already recommended a friend to consult with him about a heart procedure that she needs to get completed.
I have complete confidence in this fine cardiac surgeon. I am very happy with my aortic valve replacement."
-- Stephen Boudro, Aortic Valve, Valve Replacement, 04/22/2024
"My choice of having my surgery done by Dr. Erhan Guler and the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute team at Northwestern Medicine in Winfield, Il. was very well placed. The level of care exceeded my expectations. Dr. Guler visited me multiple times during my hospital stay and patiently explained everything that was happening in detail.
From my initial consultation through all the follow up appointments Dr. Guler and his team could not have been more comforting and thorough in explaining what to expect. My recovery is progressing at a rapid pace, and I am very pleased with the result. Dr. Guler has been professional and caring during this entire process and I strongly recommend him.
If you are ever in need of any cardiac surgery or consultation, please consider Dr. Erhan Guler."
