James Philip Slater, MD

Dr. Slater did an incredible job with my husband's unexpected quadruple bypass surgery. From the very beginning, he was confident, professional, and reassuring. He clearly communicated what to expect--from how long the surgery would take to what recovery would look like--which helped ease our anxiety during a very stressful time. The surgery went smoothly, and my husband is now on the road to recovery. We are so grateful for Dr. Slater's expertise and care. Thank you for making such a scary situation more manageable and for giving us hope through your skill and compassion.

Dr Slater saved my Father life in 2022. Him and his team perform a triple bypass on my 81yr old father and everything went smoothly. After he came out of surgery he called us and quickly gave us the words we wanted to hear. Everything went well, your Dad is fine. We owe him and his team much more than a thank you. Thank you for saving our father life. He is still going strong.

Dr Slater is a wonderful doctor and a great surgeon. He performed a double bypass pass on my husband. He was informative, caring throughout the process.

Dr Slater gave me a new tissue valve in place of my original bicuspid aortic valve on June 30, 2021. He was there checking in at 8 am during a holiday weekend afterwards. I got it done so that I could hold my new granddaughter who was due in the Fall. I'm a 56 year old woman. Although I was scared, I felt confident in Dr Slater. I also needed a pacemaker. I feel so much better now. Thanks Dr. Slater for helping me.
