My son and I have seen quite a few cardiologists since February 2005 since this was the first need to find a cardiologist and each one we saw either didn't know what to do or disagreed with the one we were seeing. In one day we saw two surgeons. The first one said "you are sitting on a time bomb" and the second one has been the cardiologist James has been seeing since that day. This cardiologist totally disagreed with the time bomb idea and has been right. He is at Mayo. He has suggested Cleveland clinic where we will be seen in a month. (there is time) On 12/26/05 we went to San Francisco and saw dr. Vincent Gaudiani, a very experienced valve surgeon. Dr. Gaudiani told James that his mitral valve could be repaired. This was good news. So the decision will be made between these two surgeons. Dr. Gaudiani or Dr. Cosgrove (we hope) We are open for any and all suggestions.
