Subject: Thanks, I feel great.
Dear Dr. Adams,
You repaired my valves last November 9. Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how great I feel. I am attaching some pictures of me on my morning ocean kayaking. I go 4 times a week and swim on the other days. I plan to make a trip to New York for follow up soon. I am going to try to get some video for you as soon as we have a good surfing day.
Regards,
Ron Fierro

Nicole
Nicole was 11 years old when her mother took her to the doctor for what she thought was a routine fever. Her pediatrician heard a murmur while listening to her heart and diagnosed her with a leaky mitral valve.
After 23 years of dealing with her mitral regurgitation and shortness of breath, this librarian from New York was referred by her cardiologist at Montefiore Medical Center to Dr. Adams. Talking with Dr. Adams about his pioneering minimally invasive techniques relieved her worries about having a scar on her chest.
Weeks later, with her incision barely visible, she describes herself as “very satisfied” with the outcome.
Mary
Mary had her mitral valve repaired by Dr. Adams on 6/15/05. 5 weeks later, she's back doing the things she likes best in life, volunteer work, gardening, hiking, and traveling.
