4 years ago I was at work with no health problems and suddenly felt light headed and like I was going to pass out. I started to sweat profusely and felt a severe pain in my chest. My co-workers took me to the Emergency department and I was diagnosed with an Aortic dissection. Dr.Mungara took me to the OR emergently and fixed my aorta. I had a second lease at life and a chance to see my kids grow up. He is skilled and extremely caring. CK

Dr.Mungara is a miracle worker. My heart had stopped and the doctors couldn't open up my blocked arteries with stents. Apparently I underwent chest compressions on the way to the operating room and underwent emergent bypass surgery that saved my life. God bless you and your team for giving me a second chance at life!!

Did surgery on a patient and it went very poorly. The patient was 51 and died a couple times on the table. He left for Disney world the next day while she was struggling for life in the ICU
