Dr. Maldonado is tops. She's also very kind. I trust her to do my surgery-she has many years of experience and expertise. I also came to appreciate Dr. Tarabey, whom at first I thought was unapproachable, but found that isn't at all true. I'm grateful that he oversaw the aspects of my heart functions relevant to my upcoming surgery and the gallbladder infection I had.
