I had severe mitral valve regurgitation, which only manifested itself to me when I wound up in ER with severe shortness of breath, suggestive of congestive heart failure.
The cardiologist who attended me said I was a perfect candidate for mitral valve repair (as opposed to replacement), a much preferred option since successful repair should last me a lifetime. He said he couldn’t emphasize enough how critical it would be to have the right surgeon and recommended Dr. Loulmet without hesitation.
It was my great fortune to have met Dr. Loulmet, who showed nothing but kindness, attention to my concerns and an unhurried approach to answering all my questions. He explained the surgery procedure thoroughly and even showed me the procedure on screen (at my request).
I was scheduled for surgery immediately and was completely satisfied with the care in hospital by all his associates. Following surgery I was able to access a hotline 24/7 to get answers to all of my concerns as I recovered. Dr. Loulmet’s office team is wonderful too, from his administrative assistant to his nurse practitioner.
I am 100% satisfied with my care before, during and after my surgery. My cardiologist is also fully satisfied with the result, saying it was a complete success. Only weeks after surgery I am walking further and faster than ever, including up stairs and hills. What I previously thought of as being out of shape, I now know was a case of my poor heart struggling.
