Dr. Sommer is the best Dr we have ever met. Not only did he educate us on my dad's diagnosis and procedure, he was extremely flexible and accommodating with getting him in. He made us feel extremely comfortable the entire time, almost felt like family. We are so grateful for the recommendation to go see him. Travel the distance, he is so worth him!

Dr. Sommer is outstanding, and I wouldn't want anyone else to work on my heart. During the consultation, he was a great educator and meticulously explained (with diagrams!) my procedure, sharing excellent studies and evidence that support the effectiveness of the procedure. Nurse Barbara Robbins and Dr. Sommer are a phenomenal team, and I feel confident about my procedure.
