Patient Reviews
Oct 16, 2022
A very humble and unassuming man. He is blessed by God, from day one he explained my severe Mitral valve stenosis. He discussed clearly, what would need to be done. I respected him and felt confident that it was not by chance that he was referred to me to perform my surgery. The surgery was 15 days ago, so far no complications! His team of Physician Assistants represented him very well with my aftercare leading up to discharged. I had Mitral valve replacement surgery, and would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Kenneth Herskowitz, very skilled Cardiac Surgeon.
