Kind words from our patients

- Yolly M.

Minimally Invasive Single Artery Bypass

"Dr. Mark Morales conducted heart surgery on me. He performed a single artery bypass (left coronary artery) and as part of the procedure he gained access through my left rib cage. This procedure was non invasive compared to going through my chest and recovered quickly going back to work in 27 days. My recovery has been completed as in that there were no after effects and I’ve experienced a significant increase in energy and my ability to be increasingly active. I’m sure Dr. Morales and his significant skill set added years to my life.I am exceedingly grateful for this and I am very glad there are surgeons such as Dr. Morales who are practicing and who are incredibly gifted so that we may all benefit."

- James A. Davis
