8 Patient Reviews for
Dr. DeRoo

"Dr. DeRoo is a kind, knowledgeable and skilled surgeon who took as much time as needed to explain what would be the best treatment plan for me.

I'm 75 and have been enjoying a very physically active life. I'm thankful I wasn't put in a box as too old for a surgical redo. In fact, Dr. DeRoo was the opposite, encouraging me to get this done and get back to what I love to do with our family… hike, bike, Nordic ski, paddle board and more. He was accessible to answer questions and made the effort to visit me in the hospital 3 times.

I even got the surgical photos I'd asked about if possible. I highly recommend Dr. DeRoo and the University of Washington team! They ROCK!!!"

"He was the best from start to finish. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. His bedside manner was excellent, and he genuinely cared about my well-being.

The surgery went smoothly, and my results exceeded my expectations. I am grateful for the outstanding care I received and would highly recommend him to anyone needing heart valve surgery."
