I cannot express enough my deepest gratitude to our Amazing God for using Dr. Giovanni Ciuffo’s expert hands and unmatched skills to save my husband's life. One month ago, our world was turned upside down when I brought my husband at UMC-ER. My husband had a severe, life-threatening heart attack caused by a complete blockage of a major coronary artery, and needed emergency CABGx3 surgery. Due to Dr. Ciuffo and his cardiac team’s timely diagnosis and immediate action, they were able to perform my husband’s open heart surgery in God’s perfect time. Not only is Dr. Ciuffo a brilliant surgeon, but his compassion for his patients and their families is extraordinary. The surgery was successfully performed, and the care he and his incredible cardiac team provided in the CVCU at UMC Hospital was top-tier and proactive in ensuring that my husband’s recovery was smooth and stable. One month later, my husband is recovering remarkably well. They were all so caring, friendly and welcoming to me… while I was there to be with my husband. I was very confident that my husband was being treated with dignity, respect and kindness. They didn't just fix his heart; they gave us our future back. If you need an amazing cardiothoracic SURGEON WITH A HEART, Dr. Ciuffo is the person you want in your corner. Thank you, Dr. Ciuffo, for your incomparable skill, precision, and calming sense of humor during the darkest time in our lives.
