Dr. Mara Beth Antonoff, MD

She is the BEST.

I came to Dr. Antonoff with aortic stenosis and a lung tumor. Before the tumor could be removed, I needed a new aortic valve. My cardiologist wanted to do one surgery to fix both problems, but I turned this idea down, and he had no more ideas. But Dr. Antonoff did. She referred me to a research colleague, a heart surgeon, who replaced my aortic valve with a TAVR. This was quick service, less than 2 weeks after I first saw Dr. Antonoff. A month after the heart surgery, Dr. Antonoff removed the tumor. She did not cut any muscles, and I had no pain or soreness at all after surgery. Throughout this experience, Dr. Antonoff displayed a real sense of urgency. She was also compassionate and treated me like a relative or a personal friend. There simply is no better doctor. My wife and I both love her.

This lady is the best doctor I have ever had the privilege of treating me . She does not leave a stone unturned and makes sure me and my spouse understand ever part of my treatment . I highly recommend Dr. Antonoff .

My wife was diagnose with a very large (10cm) benign cyst on her lung which needed to be surgically removed. Dr. Antonoff explained all the risks and the recovery issues that might occur. Instead of going thru my wife's sternum, Dr. Antonoff did a less invasive approach coming in from my wife's back. During the pre-op visit, they explained everything about the surgery and what we would expect after surgery. The surgery went extremely well. After the surgery, the issues they told us about did come true. The after surgery pain, the coughing, and the shortness of breath were normal for this type of procedure. We were told in time the pain would subside as well as the coughing and breathing issues. It's been 5 weeks after my wife's surgery and her after surgery issues are much better. My wife has zero pain tolerance. Her pain has diminished to the point she no longer takes pain medication (she actually stopped taking pain meds 4 weeks after her surgery). Her breathing is back to normal and… her random cough is almost gone. She has return to her gym workouts as well. My wife and I couldn't be any more happier with the results. The PA (Cortney) is very very good as well. She too took the time to answer all of our questions. If you email them a question thru the MD Anderson portal, they'll respond quickly. The entire staff at the office is wonderfully nice, understanding, and sympathetic. Excellent doctor and office staff.

Terrific!

Phenomenal physician. Kind, knowledgeable, and respectful to my family in a time of great need.
