Dr Duke Cameron

Here's a video with the super guy who did my heart surgery in 2008.  We sought him out in 2006 because of his expertise in aortic valve replacement (where it seemed I was headed) and his deep knowledge of Marfan's Syndrome (which was suspected but I do not have).

Of the three hospitals and surgeons we spoke with, Dr Cameron was the only one with the wisdom to recognize the importance of timing valve replacement surgery. His words were "you know you can have the perfect surgery, but as soon as you do  you start the clock ticking on new problems". He also had experience with the critical weakness of a new type of valve another surgeon had strongly recommended.

Here's the video: Duke Cameron, MD
