Patient Reviews
Dec 11, 2019
Dr. Craig Saunders was the Surgeon who performed my double by-pass and Aortic Valve Replacement at Beth Israel Hospital in July of 2015... and I am only now, in Dec. 2019 writing to say — That Iowa farmboy is the BEST! He has a down-to-earth and professional bedside manner that truly inspired my confidence. He answered any questions I had and well, I think the world of him. Thank you, Dr. Saunders for being my Doctor & Merry Christmas!
