Patient Reviews
Mar 14, 2026
Dr. John Puskas performed my open-heart surgery, and the results have been extraordinary. I would recommend him and his entire team without hesitation to anyone seeking the highest level of cardiac care. My recovery has been remarkable — my heart is so strong and healthy that I ride my bike with intensity and freedom, pushing myself harder than I ever imagined, with zero shortness of breath. I dance, I move, and I feel better than people my age ever expect. His bypass work has held up flawlessly under vigorous, high-effort training and a better quality of life.
