I saw Dr. Kreso for a second opinion about whether to undergo open heart surgery to remove an apparent papillary fibroelastoma on my mitral valve, which may be the cause of recent strokes and TIAs. She was clear, respectful, easy to talk to, and evidently extremely competent. It was an excellent visit.
