Simply amazing staff. This experience set the bar for me. I work within the Healthcare Industry and Cedar Sinai Cardiology is simply the best at customer experience and service.

The doctor was NOT remotely interested in my concerns and paid little to no time with me. Our drive was over 2 hours and if he spent 15 min it was a lot. VERY disappointed as he came highly touted.

Dr. Trento saved my husband's life by performing a really difficult 7.5 hour surgery to repair the aortic aneurism and mitral valve prolapse. He continues to provide a great care throughout his recovery.

I had severe mitral valve prolapse which significantly strained my heart. Last month, Dr. Trento successfully performed minimally invasive robotic repair. I was walking the next day, out of the hospital in four days and back to work in less than two weeks. I haven't felt this energetic in a long time. Dr. Trento visited me every day in the hospital. His staff is as caring and kind as he is. Everyone who knows Dr. Trento says he is the best; I agree.

Dr. Trento and his team are some of the top people in the world. They were very helpful, explained my procedures, and made me feel like I was being well taken care of. Dr. Trento is very very busy and may not have had the time to spend with me that I would have liked, but his team more than made up for it.
