Dr McCarthy is an excellent surgeon. He replaced my mitral valve and performed a septal myectomy. All this was 12 years ago and I am still healthy at 79 years of age!

Dr Patrick McCarthy saved my life. After having a healthy heart scan my primary physician told me I had significant calcium deposits in my arteries and recommended me to a Cardiologist. Cardiologist ordered a Echocardiogram and was told I had an aneurysm in my aortic valve. Made an appointment with Dr McCarthy & surgery was scheduled in September, 2018. Dr McCarthy told me in the recovery room that they caught in the nick of time. I'll be ever thankful to Dr Patrick McCarthy

It has been five and a half years since my Aortic Valve replacement. My experience with Dr McCarthy and his staff has been nothing but outstanding. The preparation, the surgery and follow up has been more then I could have expected. I did have a Pacemaker and defibrillator by medtronic implanted two months ago and it has really improved my situation. I am doing things better then I have for quite a while. I recommend Dr McCarthy whenever someone asks me about my heart surgery.

Our family is forever grateful to Dr. McCarthy and his team at Northwestern Hospital. He operated on my mother, who traveled from out of state for her valve surgery. I now understand why Dr. McCarthy and his team are ranked as a top 10 cardiac surgery program! His caring and commitment to his patients are exceptional.
