Thnx for this survey. I hav been denied a hernia surgery I need. Dr. Tom Knowles wants my heart valve replaced bfo this surgery. This TAVR surgery cud disable me partially or permanently. I don't no how or hu it wud help to do the hernia surgery I m disabled. The TAVR cud also result in a heart murmur wich he says I now have. Damned twice if I do the TAVR surgery. I m totally unagreeable to this. I wish someone wud xplain y our surgical profeshn has bcum this callous n/"cruel". Warm regards. Noor

Dr Desai and his PA Melissa were very relaxed, Informative, and unhurried during my exam and post exam discussion. I am a huge fan of the Emanuel/Legacy cardiac clinic and very happy to be in their care. I feel well listened to and get sufficient feedback to any questions.

My insurance from Blue Cross has been canceled by Legacy. Therefore, I would not consider this visit a good experience.

I have a life threatening medical problem that needs regular attention and Dr. Desai has provided the help that I really needed otherwise it would have taken my life. He replaced my aortic heart valve that needed immediate replacement and he provided that need and the follow up care necessary for me. He is now helping me with my blood pressure that has cropped up. He is a very kind and compassionate man that shows through in the medical care he provides. I am so glad to him and his staff on my side!

I had to wait for nearly an hour to see the physician. The physician was very knowledgeable and informed. All I questions were answered competently.
