My sister worked for Sarns and literally helped build the heart lung machine that saved his life do I recommend st. Joes??? probably more so than any hospital in America! if I had a heart attack today, I would tell the paramedics to drive me to st. Joes and I'm 90 miles away! after my father's surgery he was riding 25 miles a day on his bike! Not only did the surgery save his life but added 25 years to it!

His Dr was Dr Dick for years but he retired and now we see Dr. Helms. Care quality is exceptional. This is a huge complex that can be overwhelming but the staff here is great! Very competent and professional but make you feel welcome. My nephew has had a cardiac defibrillator since he was 8 and has a pacer too. With the inception of his diagnosis he has been on the appropriate meds now and we are so thankful that his defibrillator hasn't had to function recently due to v-fib.
