Sentara Mid-Atlantic Cardiothoracic Surgeons

I was admitted to the hospital with a collapsed lung, causing me to go into labor and give birth at 36 weeks. From the beginning of my hospital stay, the cardiothoracic Surgery team were by my side providing excellent care and compassion. Dr. Newton is a gift to this world. Micah (PA) who assisted Dr. Newton with my lung surgery and removed one of my chest tubes, Jennifer Whaley, NP who cared for me after surgery and removed another chest tube, Jennifer Ward NP who i followed up with post discharge, and Nurse April Kuhn are all incredible assets to this team of providers. Thank you for the excellent care and getting me home to my baby!!

Dr. Dimeling is absolutely AMAZING!! I had been struggling for a little over a year with neurological issues that 3 Neurologist and Johns Hopkins was unable to solve. Eventually I was sent to a Rheumatologist and was told I had Fibromyalgia. Long story short I pushed to see a cardiologist and they ended up finding that I had a Left Atrial Myxoma (mass inside my heart). The first time I met with Dr. Dimeling which was suppose to be just for a consultation for my surgery, he stated that he was admitting me that day because he didn't want to take the chance of me having a stroke or brain aneurysm. He was extremely thorough when going over exactly what they found and how he was going to fix it, and he sat and answered all the questions both my husband and I had for him. He did not rush us, or make us feel like we were just a number. One thing that sticks with me, is I asked him if he had any advice on how to break the news to our 13 year old son. When he came in the next morning of admitting me his first question was "how did your son take the news?" That right there was another sign as to how compassionate he is and how much he cares about his patients. Not to many doctors would even remember talking about that or care to ask. Dr. Dimeling saved my life and I could not have asked for a better surgeon to put all my faith in to help me make it through such a scary procedure. I would HIGHLY recommend him to EVERYONE!! Don't just take my word for it though, read his biography and just from that you will see what an amazing person he is!!

Lisa who works with this company is very very rude. She is ugly to other doctors offices, rude to patients and just terrible to work with. The practice should really consider replacing her with someone with actual customer service skills and compassion. I will never go here just because of LISA.

Excellent care, excellent doctors and staff. Two bypass surgeries, 17 years apart. Dr Newton has kept me ticking even if I dont seem to be helping.

Excellent care, service,with great doctors nurses and support staff. Had bypass surgery their.
