Paul Fedalen, MD

An MRI for an issue with my pancreas showed I have a pericardial cyst, and I was referred to Dr Fedalen, who ordered another scan zeroing in on that issue. It showed my cyst is about 2.5"x1.6" (6.5x4.1 cm). I asked why there are only 2 dimensions given when any object has 3 dimensions, and got no answer. I was offered an immediate operation to drain the cyst, but when I asked what danger there was from leaving the cyst, (which it is likely I was born with), I was told it could cause tiredness - hell, I'll be 78, I'm USED to tiredness - that was not a compelling argument to me for an operation. We agreed to monitor with another scan in a while to see if it grows. Dr Fedalen showed great patience answering my many questions, and gave me confidence that he knew what he was talking about, and should I need an operation, I would have no reservations in having him do it.

Dr Fedalen was very quick to diagnose my problem and set a plan in motion. He is very knowledgeable and personable. I was glad to have this Dr. Taking care of me. Excellent staff and Dr.Fedalen will explain everything to you in language you can understand. He does not talk "down" to you. He tells it like it is and has has a general sense of humor. I feel at ease with this Dr. I recommend Dr. Fedalen to anyone with a vascular problem.

Wife had corotid artery surgery two years ago and has been in pain ever since. Will not return to him for next carotid surgery if required. He admitted he had touched a nerve that he shouldn't have.

Friendly staff. Superb surgeon. Fixed my pneumothorax robotically and cleared my father in-law's carotid of plaque buildup beautifully with zero complications.
