Hello, We cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Shresta! We did research on him before we ever met him. He has a number of interviews on the Mayo site which were very helpful to us. The sheer number of heart procedures he has done helped make my husband and I feel confident in the valve surgery my husband needed. I can honestly say he saved my husband's life. Besides being a gifted surgeon he has a wonderful bedside manner and took time to really listen to our concerns and address them as honestly as he could. We also appreciated all the help and concern we received from his PA's, Fellows, nurses, residents, etc. He was a blessing to us. Wishing you the very best with your upcoming surgery. Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. Bonnie
