Dr. Cartledge and Staff SAVED MY LIFE. Period. Almost 4 years later I am still fogging a mirror and enjoying my brood. Many thanks to the "King of Hearts." Mayor Ralph Schenck.

My husband 80 years old had open heart surgery this May 2019 and Dr. Cartledge and his fabulous team performed this amazing surgery.While waiting and wondering nervously how things were going I was kept updated on progress and good outcome and when he will be in recovery and ICU to see him.This entire procedure and Dr Cartledge and the team were beyond wonderful and informative with great results.Boca Regional is a wonderful hospital and the Drs and Nurses as well.

As a long time nurse, I don't take referrals lightly. After having done the research, we chose Dr. Cartledge for my husband's surgery ... couldn't have made a better choice! Everything from our very first consultation visit to the post-op office visit was excellent.

Dr. Cartledge is an excellent surgeon. He took the time to explain my problem, and then he explained how he would fix it.

I had a major heart attack while in Florida on a business trip. The ambulance brought me to Boca Raton Regional Hospital and assigned Dr. Cartlidge to perform quadruple bypass surgery. I consider myself to be fortunate as the surgeon I saw in NYC said Dr. Cartlidge did an excellent job leaving me with minimal scarring and my recovery has been progressing rapidly.

Dr Cartledge exudes confidence. He spends time explaining what he will be doing and makes it understandable. The only negative that I experienced was that I was kept waiting in his office for an unusual amount of time beyond my appointment.
