Doctors in NYC??

[aszoszun]

Greetings all.

My dad is at Maimonides and has been diagnosed with Endocarditis. It looks like the doctors want to perform the surgery ASAP.

Any recommendations on good doctors here in the 5 boroughs? He has Aetna.

We want to make the right decision but we feel that we just don't know enough yet to make an informed decision!!!

Thanks in advance!

Abby.

Hi Abby-

Welcome to this terrific site. You'll love all the support and information you will get here.

I'm in upstate NY, so can't help you with downstate, but there are many members from that area, and I'm sure they will be along soon.

I do have a link for the valve surgeons in New York State. You could look over the info. there to get you started.
