To all The Pretty people:
My name is Joseph and I reside on Long Island in New York. I'm also a 61 year old male, very active whom has recently become a candidate for an isolated AVR. Having been an athlete my entire life, tennis being my passion, I was told by my Cardiologist last November, 2009 subsequent to winning a tennis singles tournament in my division that I had a severely calcified bi-cuspid aortic valve. And, that I should start the process of interviewing prospective surgeons for OHS. MY GOD!!!!! Talk about hitting me in the face with a pale of COLD water. Or was it a Bat?
I've met with many; from Manhattan to Cleveland. I like Paul Stelzer at Mt. Sinai the very best. He being the only surgeon that I've met with that exemplified a humanistic patient centered approach to this horrible endeavor. What say any of you at there?
Can you share with me some of your experiences? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
