Our experience with Johns Hopkins Heart Center has been nothing short of phenomenal. From the pre-op coordination, to the day of surgery, to the follow up afterwards, everything was great. We honestly wouldn't change a thing and will be forever grateful for everything you did for our daughter and family.

When it was time to seek surgical intervention, we were committed to finding the best surgical team. We met with Dr. Mettler and were confident that him and his team were the best - and they proved to be. From initial contact to discharge, the level of care, compassion, and commitment the Heart Center had for our son’s well being was simply outstanding.

While at Johns Hopkins Heart Center, we received comprehensive and compassionate care throughout a very stressful and overwhelming time.  Each interaction with medical personnel and staff was positive. We could not have asked for better care for our son.
