Patient Reviews
Apr 14, 2016
Dr Boston was the surgeon that took care of my grandchild at St. Louis Children's Hospital. My grandson was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Dr. Boston did all three surgeries, the norwood, the glenn and the fontane. He explained to all of us what had to be done and how he would be doing it. He then explained after it was done.He was a wonderful Doctor and a wonderful person all around. He never seemed to get upset if we asked any questions. I would recommend him to anyone.
