Dr. Deel and Wendy ( Nurse ) did five bypasses on my heart. No prolbems and back to work in eight weeks. I am getting ready to have my Aortic valve replaced next week almost two years later to the day. I never even considered another Doctor to do the replacement. I highly recommend Dr. Deel and his staff with your heart needs. I am looking forward to leaving another good review after my aortic valve replacement. Thank you Dr. Deel and Wendy for the help you have been in my life.

This man saved my life. I'm a 21 year old with ovarian cancer who had been receiving chemo through an infusaport. I had a seizure at work and was rushed to the hospital. Dr. Deel found that I had a huge blood clot flapping in my right atrium that was going to end my life if it detached. Dr. Deel managed to perform surgery and remove it before it could detach and travel to my lungs. This man is my hero

This guy is the most compassionate doctor I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. When my 21 yr. old daughter needed a chest tube inserted, the other doctors wanted it done bedside. He came to her and said, "I wouldn't want it done to a family member of mine while they were awake. If you want me to, I will put her under general anesthesia and do it". How much more compassionate can you get!!!!! This guy is the best.

Dr. Deel is one of the most down to earth surgeons I have ever met. He and Wendy (his nurse) addressed all concerns and questions that were brought to them. My dad had triple bypass surgery a few days ago and is already moving around. You can tell Dr. Deel keeps up with the most recent medical advancements as he performed the surgery in about 2.5 hours. Excellent surgeon!!!

Both Dr. Deel and his nurse, Wendy were very knowledgeable and caring. Wonderful surgeon....I have very nice scars (if there is such a thing)! I am happy that fate brought us together at this most stressful time in my life. They were exactly what I needed!

My daughter swallowed a tack which went into her right lung. After taking her to Thomas which did nothing to calm her or help her with the pain, we were sent to Dr. Deel for the removal who not only calmed my daughter but also explained the procedure to me ,my daughter. Him and his staff that night were excellent and we couldn't have asked for any better.
