Patient Reviews
Apr 24, 2023
Dr. Livesay is so much more than a Doctor. My husband needed open heart surgery and Dr. Livesay is one of the few experts in Bi-pass surgery using the Mammary Arteries. I can't explain the difference in detail but after seeing 4+ doctors who specialize in open heart surgery, Dr. Livesay is like an angel. He cares and truly gives you attention and listens! His staff were amazing! They answer your calls, get you in ASAP and check up on you with personal phone calls! My husband and I can't say enough good things about Dr. Livesay and his staff. It has almost been a year now since my husband's surgery and he is doing great! THANK you to Dr. Livesay!
