Patient Reviews
Jul 29, 2023
I had a quadruple bypass performed by Dr Kitten in April 2018. I had been diagnosed needing bypass after having excruciating pain radiating from my right shoulder. My wife drove me to North Cypress Medical Center where they admitted me. Dr Kitten was on vacation BUT the nurses who work with cardiac care patients raved about Dr Kittens expertise and unanimously agreed they’d wait for him to perform the bypass-and I waited 2 days for his return and procedure went flawlessly. The 1 star review seemingly blamed Dr Kitten for the loss of 2 family members!!! Sometimes patients aren’t able to withstand the procedure and/or other complications. Blaming the surgeon for their demise is both unfair and cruel to the doctor and potential future patients who read this totally wrong review. I was so fortunate to have had Dr Kittens expert ability. Five years later I’m still going strong!
