Best Cardiovascular And Thoracic Surgeon Grand Rapids Near Me

Jade Hughes: My mom walked in, but unfortunately did not walk out. She had complications during her heart surgery, one thing led to another and she passed away. No direct communication with our family and no condolences from Dr Spurlock. Frustrating, very sad to say the least.

Duane Buffham: Dr. Willekes performed my lung cancer surgery. He is an extremely skilled surgeon and a very caring person. He really put my mind at ease before and after the surgery. He has superb people skills and communicated with my wife during the process. I highly recommend him and I have only great things to say about this gentleman. He gave me a 2nd chance at life. Thank you very much, kind Sir! Edit: A year later and I am doing good! I have healed very well. Dr. Willekis is incredibly skilled.

Michelle Dyer: We were referred to see Dr. Willekes when my Dad, at 86 years old, was diagnosed with severe mitral valve regurgitation. He was a pleasure to meet, and his confidence in being able to help dads situation was comforting. The way he shared the plan to repair the mitral valve was straightforward, thorough, and made sounderstandable that, in the end, we had no further questions. Dad says that the entire care he received during the surgery and hospital stay not only met but exceeded his expectations. Especially the expertise during the operation by Dr. Willekes along with the credit this doctor gave to the entire teamof surgeons and surgical staff that participated. Our entire family is grateful that Dad was referred to him and would absolutely recommend Dr. Willekes and his team if you or someone you know is in need of a cardiothoracic surgeon.

Erica Smith: Dr Willekes performed a mitral valve repair on my husband. He is an excellent surgeon. Very kind, informative, and to the point. The surgery was a slam dunk, and while I was very thankful to Dr Willekes, he made sure to give credit to all parties involved (nurses, anesthesiologist, etc) I appreciate that he speaks to us in an educated manner, without sounding condescending. Hopefully you never have to see a thoracic surgeon, but if you do, we would highly recommend Dr Willekes.
