Dr Gang always provided a positive point of view and a smile. His recommendation on what to do and when was very clear and easy to understand. Surgery went as planned and now just 4 months after receiving my new [ ] I have completed my cardiac rehab and signed up to a gym at Delnor. Excited about what the future holds and more excited about my speedy recovery able to bike for 75 minutes, 20 miles and 800 calories!.

I’ve been seeming different cardiologist/surgeons over the past several years. Upon my first visit we were very impressed with Dr. Gang’s demeanor a professionalism as we. As his team’s, on this last visit we determined that it is no longer feasible (because of expansion of the aneurysm’s propagation) wait longer. Very impressed with Dr. Gang and staff.
