Dr. Farivar provided a worst case scenario for the needed procedure (aortic valve replacement and double bypass). It was slightly scary but living this debilitated was worse than death. I obviously made it through (three weeks post-op). I feel better than I did before surgery. This is not a walk in the park procedure but Dr. Farivar provided sufficient warning for my wife to be well aware of what could go wrong. I expect never to need this again. If you are in need, I recommend Dr. Farivar.
