Patient Reviews
Aug 03, 2025
I am so grateful that The Lord directed my steps to Dr Kaiser and his DREAM TEAM!!!! Dr. Kaiser and his PA, Andrea, went above and beyond in their care of me. They listened and answered every question I had. I went in for ascending aorta replacement. Right before my surgery, Dr. Kaiser heard something in the EKG and found that my tricuspid valve was leaking during my surgery. I am grateful for D.r Kaiser's God given wisdom and abilities!!! Dr. Kaiser and Andrea were present in every aspect of my care. The Lord gave me what I consider to be the VERY best doctor for the job!!!!
