Dr Ardehali is the best cardiac surgeon I've ever met. He is very compassionate and dedicated to his patients. I was trying to avoid an open heart surgery ever since I was diagnosed with Left Atrial Myxoma over a year ago (considering I'm a 30 year old female ), so i was referred to Dr. Ardehali to discuss about minimally invasive surgery and sure enough he was able to perform a minimally invasive surgery on me about a month ago. I'm so grateful to him, Thank you Dr. Ardehali you're the best....a superb!
