Billy’s Life-Saving Journey
Billy needed critical care due to a leak in his aortic valve. Looking for a second opinion led him to the Cleveland Clinic Cardiac Center of Excellence. We were able to repair his aortic valve instead of replacing it, which transformed his long-term quality of life. Watch his inspiring story.

Mitchell Hammonds, Cardiac COE Patient

Brandy Fredell, Clinical Review Participant
“I did not feel rushed... it was a very complete assessment. Not really what I wanted to hear, but it was reassuring to hear that the diagnosis was consistent. You guys are the best of the best.”

Jennifer Eisenberg, Cardiac COE Patient
“I wanted to go to where the best would be, not just the best in my area. Everyone did such a wonderful job. When I found out I needed this surgery, I had so much anxiety, and I thought you handled that so well by being so on top of things.”

David Lytle, Cardiac COE Patient
“I heard other employees talking about the Cardiac COE over the years and kept it in mind in case I ever needed surgery. I cannot believe the whole thing was covered – What a deal! I expected to be down for a month, but after just a few days, I could be up and about.”
