Patient Reviews
Mar 04, 2021
Excellent - had minimally invasive aortic valve replacement in 2018. Went extremely well and have no complaints two years later. Very glad I went with Dr. Brinster. The office is run very well and Dr. Brinster is clearly skilled surgeon who can do this surgery in a less invasive manner - which is very uncommon.
