Dr. Hafen

"As soon as I got there, the operation was scheduled and done in a timely manner."

-- Brian Johnson, Aortic Valve, Valve Repair, 07/24/2025

"Dr. Hafen explained what the surgery would entail in terms that my husband and I could understand. He took his time explaining and making sure to answer any questions we had.

On the day of surgery, he came to talk to my family and I to reassure us that someone would be in contact with them the whole time.

Dr. Hafen did a great job, is an amazing surgeon, and had a great bedside manner."
