Dr. Almanfi is knowledgeable and extremely capable. I was diagnosed with severe mitral valve regurgitation. I have an underlying issue with Parkinson's Disease. After consultations with five different cardiologists who wanted to perform open heart surgery, Dr. Almanfi recommended a mitraclip repair which could be done with a cath procedure.
Dr. Almanfi was very responsive to all of my questions and concerns. If I emailed with a question, he responded in a time frame that exceeded my expectations for a surgeon of his caliber.
The prodedure was done in the morning and I spent one night in the hospital under observation. By noon the next day, I was on my way home. The best news is that after only two days my breathing was better and my energy level was definitely increasing with each day. I can't even begin to say what an excellent job this doctor did to repair my heart and improve my living conditions. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is having cardiovascular problems. read more
