Upon receiving my diagnosis of open heart bypass, I took my information to a cardiac group at another hospital for a 2nd opinion to confirm the recommendations. The recommendations were confirmed, and without my asking, the other hospital's surgical doc's gave their recommendation to see Dr. Gang due to his impeccable reputation among surgeons and as a leader and expert in the field. My quadruple bypass went flawlessly and I've healed up and recovered in several weeks time, heading back to continue this journey of life. Thank you Dr. Gang & Team!!
