      My only issue is that I have been trying to obtain a copy of the results so that I can send them to a family member who is a cardiac surgeon for a second opinion. We are very happy with Dr. Paramesh, but we have a family member who is a cardiac surgeon and we want his opinion prior to the surgery with Dr. Paramesh and we still do not have the results. . , they tell me the test results

      This appt exceeded expectations. The surgeon explained the surgery in plain English and went over all the pros & cons. It was explained what to expect during surgery & after. The surgeon & nurse allowed us to take our time with guestions.

      Doctor Paramesh took his time and really explained things to me. He was easy to understand and I felt very comfortable with him. This was the first time I met with him, so I felt much better after my appointment.
