Dr Kon is without a doubt one of the most caring & best physicians I have ever met in all my 66 years on this earth.Forget about the fact that he is also an unbelievable surgeon. God gave him the right hands to perform surgery to the height he does. I cant say enough good things about Dr.Kon. Thank God he was there when I needed him.

From the moment I walked into Dr. Neal Kon's office for the first time I knew that he was the one surgeon that I would trust with my life. My surgery was explained to me in such a way that my fears were immediately abated and I knew that I had come to the best Medical Center.

I underwent a redo Aortic Root Replacement at Wake Forrest Hospital by Dr. Neal Kon ( a dreaded procedure by most cardiac surgeons in the US ), three days postop I was ready to go home, 6 weeks later I was swimming and playing with my kids like a new man. I am american Board Certified Vascular Surgeon myself,and I can tell you with all certainty possible that this man's place in haven is more garranteed than US treasury bonds. God bless you Dr. Kon , I owe you my life.
