Looking for surgeon to do Mitral valve repair in Florida

Posted by mitral @mitral, 2 days ago

I am 75 years old and have mitral valve regurgitation level 3+ with shortness of breath. I live in Florida and wondering if anyone has had mitral valve repair (not with a mitral clip) done by a surgeon at Mayo in Jacksonville FL or any other surgeon in Florida you would recommend.
Thanks

If you can't find a doctor you are happy with in Florida:
If you can travel to Raleigh, NC, contact this office to send your test results, especially the latest echo, to the great cardiac surgeon, Dr. Byron Boulton; set up a consultation visit, perhaps by phone. He is director of the WakeMed Structural Heart Program at WakeMed in Raleigh, NC. Phone (919) 231-6333. He repaired my mitral valve (serious regurgitation problem), and did an ablation to cure my AFIB. That was over two-and-a-half years ago. I am as fine as wine, off all meds too. I am an 80-year-old male, just a kid.
Refgards,
Sagan
