Hi,
My surgery ( mechanical aortic valve and aortic graft) was done by dr. Kroshus and his team at Regions in October 2018. I have no hesitation in recommending him and the other professionals involved in my surgery/recovery care. Great people at Regions: nurses, lab techs, orderly, therapists.
The staff at the cardiac rehab run by Regions is really good, too. Very encouraging and attentive to patients’ needs.

I just wish that Regions had more in terms of patient’s education/support/follow up...especially, in those first months when you have to adjust to so much. Sure, the nursing and rehab staff preps you on all the major info, you come home with a bunch of print-outs and phone numbers, but there is so much more that can be useful to know upon the discharge. Thanks goodness for the internet and sites like this one - incredibly rich source of information and support (once again, thank you ALL who reached out to me back than and reassured me that everything was going to be fine, I am ever grateful for your kindness!).

There are online sites that are exclusively for patients with valvular diseases, lots of great info and advices shared by patients for patients. It is great to share with the ones who walk in our shoes.
