After giving birth to twins in 1998, I had severe pain in my upper back. Once it was established that I had a descending Aortic Aneurysm,
I interviewed 3 Thoracic Surgeons before deciding to trust my life with Dr. John Elefteriades. He is a gentle, wise and great listener and I am thrilled to say after open-heart surgery and months of recuperation,
I was well enough to go home and raised my children who are both now 21 years old. Wonderful Doctor!

Dr. E performed aortic valve and accending aorta reconstruction on both myself and my brother. The care that we received from Dr. E's staff and the entire Yale hospital from pre operation testing through the surgery to post operation ICU was top notch. I highly recommend the aortic institute for thoracic surgery

Dr. Elefteriades is an incredible Doctor whose skills are second to none! He gave my family a very grave and low percentage of survival but thanks to the Nurses, Doctors and Dr. E I survived what was a seemingly an impossible surgery!!!

I am a 50 year old male and a patient of Dr. Elefteriades's. I had a bicuspid valve along with an accenting aneurism. He saved my life. He has the best bedside manner and is the best doctor I have ever had. I believe he is the best in the world at what he does!!!
