What Patients Are Saying About EACH:
43 year old male complex cyanotic CHD: shunt palliated transposition of great arteries and hypoplastic pulmonary arteries …
“Having received most of my heart care from a pediatric congenital heart clinic and seeing the same doctors, even long into adulthood, it was hard to imagine that I would feel comfortable with a new doctor. I am happy to say that Dr. Book, and the entire staff, at Emory have put me at ease. There is a no nonsense, yet caring approach to your heart care. I like the fact that while they are pioneers in their field they don't rush to decisions that sometimes would affect a delicate balance.”
48 year old female complex cyanotic CHD: shunt palliated pulmonary atresia with pulmonary artery hypertension …
"As an adult congenital heart patient I switched my heart care from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN to The Emory Clinic, when I moved to the south from Pennsylvania. A fellow congenital heart patient suggested the clinic to me. I have been so pleased with my care there, that even though I am living in Pennsylvania again now, I continue to come to Atlanta to been seen at Emory, at least twice a year."
