My Family Dr. I thought was GREAT, if anything I thought he went a little overboard to keep me healthy. My heart Dr. on the other hand was very good except one time he wanted to put a tiny little cup at one of my bypasses to catch the cholesterol that might get into my heart. When I asked him why, he said that’s what he does. Then every few yrs. I would of had to get a new one put in until that one plugged up. I told him no & he said to make sure I took my pills as scheduled, I’ve had no issues what so ever & that was 6 yrs. ago. He said his dad died that had this procedure & his mom declined to have it done & she’s still alive. I’m guessing this was at least10 to 12 yrs. ago. Hope this helps answer your question. It probably depends what Dr. you have.
