Additional information
Trusting a surgical team with your child's heart is one of the hardest things a parent can face, and we hold that trust with the care it deserves. A child's mitral valve is delicate work that calls for real specialist experience, and caring for your little one, and for you, is our focus from the very first call.
You and your child will start your journey to improved heart health by having a consultation with our world-class surgery team, making sure we have all the details to take care of them. From there, we arrange transportation - directly from your home to our clinic - with short flight times and low stress.
From your first-class accommodations, we'll transport you and your child to our state of the art facility for their procedure where they'll be taken care of by our pediatrically-trained surgery team.
Post-surgery, we make sure your child's recovery journey begins with high quality relaxation and a stress-free hospital + 5-star hotel stay. Your child will enjoy a novel and beautiful resort-style stay as they rest and recover. And then we get you both home! We arrange your trip back, and drop you off safely at your doorstep.
We do all this and more with limited to no wait time - our clinic can take in enough patients each month to make sure your child doesn't wait on the critical heart care they need.
