People are so nice
Dr McArthur and his team are a world class team
In appreciation to Doctor John W. MacArthur, Cardiothoracic Surgeon and Dr. Juyong Brian kim and all surgeon staff. All Doctor and Nurses, on surgery Teams M20), Doctor John W. MacArthur MD. Very professional in both technical and patient interaction areas. greatly appreciated his efforts and skills in understanding my concerns and priorities in treating my cardiovascular problems and then drawing on his state-of-the-art knowledge of Medical options and interventions. It was refreshing that he considered the patient as unique and did not try to treat according to a stereotypical statistical standard, I also appreciated his willingness to share, in depth, the technical reasons in making decisions instead of superficially telling patients what they want to hear on.
