I would like to say that Dr.Ali Dana and his entire team gave me confidence and excellent treatment.
He was very thorough and told me what was happening during the procedure, adapting to my deafness. I was impressed that he came to see back on the ward after the procedure, before he finished for the day , then visited again next morning on Saturday.
He made you feal welcome and explained in detail what the procedure he was going to do.
very skilled, compassionate just brilliant

If Elective Surgery required always check with Cardiologist's that the Heart Surgeon does have High Volume Mitral Valve Practice as it's important to determine Surgical Expertise of a Surgeon with an interest in Valve Repair and it should be a Surgeon with Mitral Repairs of 25+ Per Year . Reference Mitral Repair Surgeons usually perform a large number of mitral procedures per year.
The highest volume Surgeons can be performing over 100 Mitral Valve... Procedures... (which would include valve Replacements per year) .
So it's possible to choose your Surgeon and in some instances you may need to travel further afield ,but, you will have a longer Wait.( If your case is Urgent you should follow the professional advice from the Cardiologist on their referral to a suggested Surgeon due to the need to be seen quickly ).
Annuloplasty rings are common in repairs procedures . Antibiotics are usually needed with a Ring prior to Dental Cleaning Treatment or Extraction so check with your Surgeon As Oral Hygeine is paramount with a prosthetic.
A Good Place to check Surgeons Stats is at SCTS website/patients.
