Patient
Dr. Abovich said I needed mitral valve surgery, and wanted to refer me to a local cardiovascular surgeon. I decided to go out of town, and get a state of the art kineric nuclear MRI study that was not available in the Palm Beach area at the time. While I was told that there was some valve reflux, the assessment was that I did not need a valve stricture or valve replacement. Three years later I continue to play tennis and padel weekly and remain aymptomatic. My advice would be to go elsewhere. While his staff is wonderful, the doctor has poor bedside manner, and in my opinion, would go broke if money could buy a personality.
