Just got a call that my mom is needing heart surgery very soon...not an immediate emergency, but schedule ASAP situation. Looking at 2-4 bypasses plus she is a very fragile Type 1 diabetic for 60+ years. She's in Ocean Springs, MS in the hospital but wants to have surgery here because we can help her afterwards plus heart care here is top shelf.
The only cardiac surgeons I know are long since retired.
Any Aldeer brothers have any experience with any surgeons/groups affiliated with UAB or Grandview? Need some names to research.

John Richardson at St Vincent’s. He’s the best. That’s not just me saying that but several doctors my dad has had, including his current heart doctor, Dr Parks. Dr Parks said, any other surgeon wouldn’t have even sewed dad up because he was so bad. He said they would have let him die. Richardson wouldn’t give up though and pulled him through. I know as of 5 years ago, he had been performing heart surgery for over 27 years and had over 4,000 surgeries under his belt. At least that’s what he told us. He’s also a believer and has a bible verse monogrammed into his scrub shirt.

My FIL is a General Practioner M.D. and his heart doctor is Dr. McBrayer in Alabaster.

Dr. Mark Mullens in Alabaster is the one our local doctors use for themselves, but now we have one locally who is very good too. Dr. Mullens did a cath on me years ago and I really liked him.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

UAB is a teaching hospital,and their knowledge and techniques tend to be cutting edge. We've dealt with them for 25 years for a family heart condition, and are up to 6 open heart (cracked chest) surgeries. UAB Cardiology Group is very good. I think Hugh McElderry is the top guy there right now.

Dr McBrayer is a fine Cardiologist, but is not a heart surgeon. I have worked with Russ Ronson at Brookwood. ( He also is tied in to UAB). He is a typical surgeon, dick at the bedside with short man syndrome, but a hell of a surgeon.

Still recovering from Qaud bypass surgery on the 15th of November with Dr Periera at UAB! Excellent doctor and her her team is top notch! Glad to be alive but it killed my entire season!

So my mom is speaking with 2 groups today and getting everything set up to come to Birmingham tomorrow:
UAB: Davies and Periera Grandview: Casterline
From my research and talking with other medical people, hard to go wrong with either group.
She'll be staying with us for several weeks for aftercare and followup. She is a very fragile Type 1 diabetic, so she needs family support close by to help her keep things straight. If y'all could send up some prayers for her and the whole process, I'd be very grateful!

Dr Casterline is a cool Doctor...he did part of my hybrid ablation for afib.

Davies has done a good bit of work on ICD installation for us. He and Periera are the electrophysilogy experts. Good reputations.
