Who told you you need surgery? Was it your cardiologist or family practice doctor? Whoever diagnosed your problem should also recommend a cardiac surgeon for you...they would not just tell you to find one on your own. You can also look in the phone book and find the County Medical Association and call them for a recommendation. When you speak to a cardiac sugeon, if you want another opinion, I'm sure he would also give you names of other surgeons to interview.

Questions for your doctor
Preparing questions in advance may help patients have more meaningful discussions with their physicians about their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctors the following questions related to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG):
1.Why do I need bypass surgery instead of angioplasty?
2.How many CABG surgeries have you performed?
3.What complications will my other medical conditions present for surgery?
4.Will I have to take any medications regularly after surgery?
5.If you cannot access the blocked arteries with angioplasty, how do you know you can do so surgically?
6.What type of surgical procedure do you recommend?
7.Will this surgery involve a heart-lung machine or not?
8.How soon after a heart attack can CABG surgery be performed?
9.How does my diabetes complicate bypass surgery?
10.Do you always recommend surgery for patients with my background and symptoms?
11.I had bypass surgery 15 years ago. How will it be different this time?
12.If I have bypass now, will I have to have surgery or angioplasty again?
13.Will lifestyle changes after my surgery help lessen the chance of another bypass surgery?
I am quite fine, and so are my friends who have gone through this surgery on taht particular day, as I am having a good connection with all those patients. It is safe, and risk is less than 2%.

Hello -- I would recommend Westchester. But, that's in New York State. That's the BEST.
