Review Detail

I never thought I would see a day where my "dip" in my chest was gone. I honestly, can't believe it. I'm so thankful Dr. Jaroszewski takes people seriously with this. Before surgery, my heart function was down to 40%. I was extremely fatigued, depressed, and down. My chest always hurt and burned when doing any kind of physical activity and it just kept getting worse. I am glad I did some google research and found Dr. J and made the trip to see her!

My consult with her was long and thorough. My regular doc of 15 years never even knew I had PE. Crazy huh? Even though I have complained of extreme fatigue my whole life to him. Dr. J explains everything so well and she knows EXACTLY what tests to run to show your cardiac output. Im so thankful someone thinks PE is interesting enough to study it and help others who have it.

My surgery was successful. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be but its amazing what our bodies can tolerate. Dr. J and her team were so good. They are always a phone call and email away and ALWAYS get back to you in a timely matter.

This surgery isn't easy, but I wouldn't hesitate to let Dr. J do it again if I needed too.

My only complication after surgery was a paralyzed vocal cord. Not sure the total cause but Dr. J helped me find a qualified ENT to check it out and it eventually started moving again on its own about 9 weeks after surgery! So after some speech rehab and strengthening for a couple months. I'm back to teaching and singing and I can't thank her and her team enough.

I am looking forward to taking the bars out in 2.5 years with Dr. J. I know I am in good hands with her.

If you are considering having this done, look no further than Dr. Jaroszweski! Don't waste your time on someone who doesn't know what they are doing.

Thank you Phoenix Mayo, Dr. J and team from the bottom of my now, unsquished heart. :)
