1 Patient Review for
Dr. Hagberg

"I feel extremely fortunate to have had Dr. Hagberg’s team of doctors, RN’s APRN’s and PA’s overseeing my care. All of them were extremely understanding, empathetic, professional and gave me the feeling that I was very well taken care of. Other than his great skill as a surgeon, I’m still not sure what Dr. Hagberg’s procedure was as in the days following the operation I had much less pain and discomfort – virtually none - than I expected. He was great in his follow-up and even though the pacemaker was an unexpected surprise, his team really put my mind at ease.

Today, even in the midst of my recovery, I feel great. "
