Chicago Cardiologists
I'm 3 months post op, for my 2nd MVR. I'm a car hauler/truck driver, working in the entire Chicago area, but my terminal is in the Aurora/Napperville area. I spend about 70% of my time in the Chicago area, and think it might be wise to have a 2nd Dr there.
I need someone who is willing to listen to what I have to say, as it is my body, and I know it very well, not someone who is going to talk down to me. Need someone who is willing to work with me in resolving any and all issues. Will consider all. Thanks.
Harry,
Here are two Drs recommended by my sis-in-law who interacts with them and works for their practice: This number - (888) 352-RUSH should get you to the right person to get more info or to set up an appointment.
Best of luck!
