Anyone know a cardiac surgeon?

Gotta Canuck friend that needs a pacemaker and wants to come to the US and pay cash. The free medical care isn't working out......one that will give a cash discount to a retired fireman. Any leads appreciated.

Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, close to you, top rated plus the 4th floor is the cardiac floor and most rooms have a view of the harbor. Mine was a corner room so I could look up and down the coast. And yes, the doctors were exceptional.

My BIL here in Mpls., but I don't know if he does that procedure, (he's an angioplasty guy). He's affiliated w one of the big teaching hospitals here, though, so I'm sure one of his colleagues replaces pacemakers.

LMK and I'll inquire for your friend.

Well, here's the Dr. who did my quad. Do you want more?
At one of my post-op visits, I mentioned that I was told by the staff that he was one of the best in the nation...he modestly called himself, "Just a high-priced seamstess."

JB he needs a cardiologist (more specifically an electrophysiologist) rather than a cardiac surgeon. You can't go wrong here: https://www.cedars-sinai.edu/Patients/Programs-and-Services/Heart-Institute/Centers-and-Programs/Clinical-Electrophysiology/index.aspx
