1 Patient Review for
Dr. Kasten

"Dr. Kasten has been terrific. From our first appointment, to discussing all parts of my surgery and through my and surgery and now in recovery. He made us very comfortable when explaining each of the procedures and answer every question we had.

During the surgery, he insured that my family was updated every hour and talked with them once he had completed my surgery. He stopped in every day of my stay and we talked about the procedures and how my recovery was going. I had 100% confidence in my surgery and my recovery due to Dr. Kasten’s care for me.

I feel blessed to have had him as my surgeon and would recommend him to anyone I knew that needed heart surgery. He and his team have been so great and supportive. My family and I are very grateful."
