Patient
My significant other (at 78 yrs old) had major valve repair surgery. Dr. Bethea repaired the valve and used a procedure that enabled him to have no pain after the procedure. He then flew to Japan to teach students the technique there. He is very competent and I highly recommend him. Yes, follow up visits are handled by his nurse practitioner but the results of the surgery was worth it. My guy now walks 5 miles a day and does everything at the gym daily. He is totally healed! he is now 79.
