It was a very democratic process. My input into treatment possibilities were affirmative. My medical condition was explained very clearly.

5 out of 5 stars

Physician was very knowledgeable, thorough in her explanation of the problem, surgery and post-op care, used models and actual products to help explain and relay information and answers all questions in a manner that we could make informed decisions.

I felt very comfortable and reassured after my consultation with Dr Pousatis, she took time and was not rushed in explaining my upcoming Mitral Valve repair. I feel comfortable with her expertise, I'm in good hands. The staff is also great!

5 out of 5 stars

I needed an aortic valve replacement. It would be the second replacement for that valve because the first valve replacement was failing after several years. The procedure was performed flawlessly. I was discharged 24 hours later and in less than a week, my life was back to normal. Great job by the doctor and all Hartford Hosp staff.
