Dr. Cameron did my Mv repair in 2005. As luck would have it he will be doing my replacement. My pre op meeting with him is on October 14th and the date will then be set. Thanks to you guys I have a full armement of questions for him. If I had to choose a doctor to perform my surgery it would be him. Unlike some "cowboys" who like to see themselves on TV, Dr. Cameron is completely opposed to and videos of surgery. He has written papers on the subject. He feels that the patient deserves the doctors full attention and shouldn't be teaching as he does it. Knowing he will do my surgery at one of the best hospitals in the country and that he is one of the best surgeons in the field makes my stress a little less. I just wish I could wait 3 years until there new cardiac center is finnished.
