Dr. Francis Pagani, MD

2016...I was in need of Mitral Valve replacement. Local hospital surgeon turned me down. My cardiologist recommended Dr. Pagani for a second opinion. I have not regretted for one moment. He not only did a wonderful job of replacing, but he also repaired my tricuspid valve at the same time. He is the epitome of professional, caring, and dedicated to his craft. He was also considerate and showed empathy for my fears. I have heart valve stenosis, as a result of Rheumatic Fever, when I was a child. His entire staff treated me with courtesy, kindness, and respect.

Excellent doctor. Did my tricuspid valve replacement 9 years ago. Answered all my questions, put my spouse at ease and fixed my heart. I was able to start playing basketball again after about six months. Highly recommend Dr. Pagani.

Dr Pagani is an excellent doctor. He made sure I was very informed, listened to all of my questions and helped keep me at ease for my upcoming surgery, valve replacement and aortic aneurysm repair. The surgery went really good, way better then I expected. Home in 5 days, and a lot of walking around and activity during the 5 days in the hospital. It's been almost 6 weeks now, back to work full time and feel great. No pain meds needed for over 3 weeks. And will be off all meds in April. Hard to express of find the words to thank Dr Pagani, but Thank you!!

Dr Pagani is a man of very few words but he is one of the best heart surgeons around. He did my Dad’s heart transplant 19 years ago and just last week did a double valve replacement on his heart. He does excellent work and if I ever need to have heart surgery myself, he is the only one I would want to do mine.
