I had an aortic valve replacement in 2019. It took 5 weeks before the surgery was done. I know question why the Ross Procedure was not performed. I was in top shape. No diseases, athletic and weighing in at 130 pounds. I was not pleased with the scar that I have on my chest and if I recall he had a Russian assistant open my chest cavity. I can see that the cut was crooked and see a larger scar below my breast. I was seen 1 month later and he barely looked at my scar. I was in and out of his office in 5 minutes. I know now that the Ross procedure would have had given me the same expectancy like any other non valve replacement person. I know have 8 years less in my life expectancy. Hoping that cardiac surgery will have improved in the next few years since I still have no other health issues but I have heart failure. I am not so sure he should be number 4 on the list of heart surgeons unless he has had major improvements with his after surgery care, communications, punctuality since he was gone so many times in conferences all over the world and helpfulness. I felt that I was used as a learning patient for his assistant. Do not be deceived by his good looks and smile.

Ce docteur m'a opéré pour la valve aortique en juillet 2018. Ce fut un succès total. Comment peut on perdre un spécialiste comme lui pour les USA??
Je ne comprend pas. Est-ce les $$$ ? Très malheureux

Il m’a opéré le 26 avril dernier, a ma fête : un magnifique cadeau pour mes 50 ans!! Il m’a fait la technique de Ross. Je suis resté 4 jours a l’hôpital et 3 mois plus tard j’étais de retour au travail. Je lui doit beaucoup. Il est partit aux 🇺🇸 malheureusement pour nous!!

We are so lucky to have Dr. El-Hamamsy to be the surgeon! A year after the valve replacement at Montreal Heart Institute, my husband now feels much better. Great thanks to Dr El-Hamamsy, Dr. Luo, and other staff team members!!

On Auguest 23rd, 2018, I had the Ross Procedure done at the Montreal Heart Institute. I had nothing but the best of care. Dr. El-Hamamsy and his staff were absolutely amazing. My surgery was 4-5 hours long and I was 4 and a half days in the hospital after that. I was home in under a week. This doctor is a godsend. I had my follow up today (November 11th, 2018) and everything went well. Thank you doctor. You haver given me a new lease on life..
