Hi Friends,
Here's a question for you all...I want to get your opinions...
My husband's cardiologist was referred to us by the wonderful surgeon who performed the repair on the aneurism and put the heart valve in (the cardiologist and the surgeon used to work together). Since my husband had no prior heart problems and this all happened out-of-state, we had no idea of who to get for a cardiologist when we got home to Ohio so we went ahead with the surgeon's recommendation.
We like our cardiologist and feel comfortable with him because he came recommended by the surgeon who we liked very, very much. But, the cardiologist works out of University Hospitals here in Cleveland and not The Cleveland Clinic. I'm wondering if we should switch cardiologists and get one that is affiliated with The Cleveland Clinic since it's the number one hospital for hearts. God forbid if my husband would need another surgery down the line, I would want it at the best hospital possible. Would you switch? I guess if he would need surgery down the line, we could just go to The Cleveland Clinic anyhow for surgery...but if it would happen to be an emergency situation, like it was the first time, we'd have to go to University Hospitals. Any thoughts?
