Dr. Dewar is an exceptional, caring and compassionate human being. He performed a semi lunar heart valve replacement and within 4 days I was out of the hospital. He and his staff were highly competent and I would highly recommend both Dr. dewar and his staff!

Dr. Dewer is a brilliant and accomplished surgeon and a "people" person. He takes as much time as necessary to explain procedures and alleviate anxiety. After the surgery, he checks in daily, even in a major snowstorm. His bedside manner is outstanding. He's honest and frank and concerned about each patient. His outstanding reputation is well earned. His expertise has made recovery much faster and easier. His staff are equally outstanding.

Without Dr Dewar I would have lost my life this May. He performed an emergency valve replacement on me. Not only is he a fantastic surgeon but he is an amazing human being who really cares about people. Thanks Doc!
