I went in for surgery on Monday, left today on Thursday and I feel amazing. Dr. Malaisrie is an extremely skilled surgeon and took the time to listen to my requests and questions even with everything else that was going on. He has also done a surgery for a family member who is 85 and dissected and saved his life. For me, I wanted a minimally invasive procedure with one of the new bio-valves that have a longer life. Being able to get this procedure means my surgery itself was short (but intense) and by the fourth day I was walking up stairs and was sent home for self-monitoring. Getting this procedure was extremely important for my life and in managing my aortic valve disease. He offers many different types of valve surgeries. The entire hospital staff was extremely nice, organized, and moved as quickly as needed. I appreciate the work of not just Dr. Malaisrie but also his entire team and the other hospital staff who made it happen. Thank you!

Dr Malaisrie performed a minimally invasive aortic valve replacement. After 2 weeks I was able to do 8 laps in the pool. He's personable and his team is excellent!

Amazing! The best there is. Amy is the nicest person ever and always made us feel special. Well I kinda was when he repaired a repair done to my aorta. He also performed a new surgery that was only being studied at time. The fact that anyone would give them less than 5 stars and is still living is hysterical. We are forever grateful to this team and don't trust anyone who reviews Taco Bell on google. Living legends are not going to say how they are accomplished, they just keep on trailblazing!

Dr. Malasrie replaced my aortic valve, along with ascending aorta. I was extremely comfortable with him, his team and NM. Recovery was exceptionally fast for such a big procedure. Back to day to day in 4 weeks, 95% by 6 weeks. I would highly recommend Dr. Malasrie.
