“99% of my dealings re my valve-r...”
99% of my dealings re my valve-replacement was with Jasminka Stegic (NP) , Dr. Makkar's associate, and she was terrific - thanks.My only suggestion would be that Dr. Makkar visit with the patient at least once before the procedure ! He finally did the night after the procedure and only after I mentioned in the operating room : " Is there really a Dr. Makkar ?" Funny: When he finally showed-up it was with most of his team which was very calming for me !
