back in 1981 he found me the best surgen and Dr. Liberthson stayed the whole 9 hours of the operation which was a co-arctation of the heart. I was 30 years old and I am now 67.

Dr. Liberthson is simply the best, most caring doctor you will ever find. He saved my daughter's life when she was born with a severe congenital heart defect. The care and compassion she received along with my husband and I, because we needed it too, will never be forgotten. He directed my daughter's care and made sure only the very best did her surgeries and catherizations. My daughter is now seventeen and considering which colleges to go to. She has been a competitive high school cheerleader and lives a normal teenager's life. Without the great care of Dr. Liberthson and the greatest hospitals in America, or the world, who knows what the outcome may have been. Thanks will never be enough for this great doctor. He is amazing.

Without Dr. Liberthson's dedication and expertise in my problem with my heart and under his care I would not be able to do all things I do with ease. Dr. Liberthson is the BEST
