5 /5 Stan Bilski: I initially went to Dr. Tripathy to get a second opinion on a 95% blockage in my heart artery. Prior to visiting him I was told by a cardiologist that, after a failed angioplasty attempt, my blockage was such that it required open heart surgery. The heart surgeon he sent me to concurred with the diagnosis.
Dr. Tripathy took one look at my imaging and felt the blockage could be addressed with an angioplasty. He sent me to an interventional cardiologist who concurred that the right solution for the blockage was an angioplasty and open heart surgery should be a last resort.
My story ended successfully with the blockage being eliminated and a stent inserted in my artery. Imagine a heart surgeon, who makes his money performing surgeries, doing what was best for the patient, even if it means not having surgery. I am blessed that his expertise, knowledge and honesty saved me from an unnecessary heart bypass and months of recovery. Dr. Tripathy is a well skilled, very decorated and highly respected surgeon who can be counted on to do what is best for the PATIENT. He has a wonderful bed side manner, is extremely empathetic and is truly concerned about the health and welfare of every patient he sees. I would highly recommend Dr. Tripathy and his crew, headed by Irene, to any person who is in need of a highly skilled, honest surgeon.
