Patient Reviews
Feb 18, 2026
Dr Helm is a brilliant and outstanding Cardiac Surgeon who performs more minimally invasive aortic valve surgical procedures than any other surgeon in New England. Luckily we didn't have to travel to another country or to even another state to be able to have 'the best'. It is hard to believe he is only 20 minutes away from where we live. He is very thorough in his explanation of procedures along with a warm and engaging personality. Most importantly, his superior level of expertise in his field is why such a complicated surgery was a complete success. This man practically walks on water in my book.
