-- Danny Nelson, Aortic Valve, Valve Replacement, 06/26/2024
"Dr. Ejiofor exuded confidence in me even in our first meeting to discuss the procedure. He performed the 5-hour surgery (as he had predicted) in a professional and efficient manner, and promptly informed my wife and son about how well the procedure went. He showed them photographs of the diseased valve and the cleaning up of the calcified annulus and drew pictures to show where the right coronary bypass was grafted. he and his team visited me several times during my 5-day hospital stay, and he was always positive and encouraging.
During home recovery, when I had several questions (via email), his team always responded quickly and appropriately. I had a my post-surgical meeting with him on July 8, and he assured me that I am progressing well and should be fully recovered in 8-12 weeks after the surgery.
Enough cannot be said about his pleasant, assuring and encouraging bedside manners. My wife and I fully believe that we had an outstanding cardiothoracic surgeon for my procedure. It is with great confidence and satisfaction that I recommend Dr. Ejiofor for any cardiac surgical needs."

-- Don Tucker, Aortic Valve, Valve Replacement, 05/21/2024
"My experience with Dr. Ejiofor was extremely positive. I had not met him until the final step of the diagnosis of my condition at the Baylor Scott & White Valve Clinic.
He is a warm and personable heart surgeon and was attentive to my many questions, even making himself available for a follow-up Q&A session in his office prior to surgery. My surgery lasted two hours beyond the estimated time due to the condition of my aortic valve. He persevered.
His visits with me in the hospital and post-op were always reassuring... to me and to my family."
