Patient Reviews
Jul 15, 2018
Dr. "George" performed a double by-pass on me July 16, 2017. We met in the ER at Los Alamitos Medical Center. I had what is commonIy referred to as the "Widow maker." I followed the recovery instructions including Cardio Rehab to the letter. Even the suggested diet. My recovery was said by my church friends to be nothing less than a miracle. A big part of that miracle was the skilled hands and mind of Dr. "George." The anniversary of my surgery is Monday July 16, 2018.
