pre operation interviews & evaluation. Went great.
Initial consultation regarding Aortic Valve Replacement surgery. Dr. Ammons and his Nurse did a good job explaining answers to the questions we (my wife there too) asked of them. I have confidence that they will do a good job for us.
care taken was bi pass surgery care that was taken was excellent except wait time in hospital when needing to use the bathroom at times with some evening nurses it wasn't a concern.
very professional consultation regarding plan for cardiac surgery
It was a pre-surgery appointment with the surgeon to go over the details of the operation and recovery.
Very informative.
Exceptional & pleasant.
Dr. Ammons was very professional in his approach. He was very thorough in explaining my condition as well as the planned treatment and surgery.
Good advise for my condition heart problems.
Needed an appointment for a specialized procedure - one which I have not experienced before, & needed an expert opinion of which step was next in my care.
