Dr. Badhwar is an exceptional doctor!! I am not one to be easily impressed but I think I was truly fortunate to have had one of the best surgeons anywhere operate on me. He explains everything and is everything a doctor should be. God bless him.

This Dr. was one of the most caring, thorough I have ever met. He performed aortic valve replacment along with repair of severely blown out aorta. We traveled 90 miles to have him perform surgery. After surgery, he came out and spent 20 minutes with me and our family explaining what he did for 7 1/2 hours, showing us pix, if we wanted to see them, and answering our questions. He appears to be on the cutting edge of his craft and knows it well. I trusted him with my 59 year old wife - and so can you! Thanks for giving me my wife back, Doc.
