Grateful to be alive and recovering. Always felt that I was in capable hands who had my best interests at heart. J flynn nurses and staff were great. I still haven’t heard from rehab Physio. I think her name was Sammy.
Experience with Dr Cheng was phenomenal, recovering very well only 12 days post opp. Very down to earth and is one of the best out there for this procedure, he’s changed my life and forever grateful. Highly recommend
Extremely confident and a very talented surgeon. Made you feel at ease and obviously has a great and experienced team working with him. One word sums him up. “BRILLIANT”
When I found out that the Stents that I had done recently were not working I was advised that the ONLY COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO HAVE OPEN HEART SURGERY. Dr Cheng He was suggested to me, and when he showed up to discuss the Coronary Artery Bipass Surgery I was fearful about the risks involved in such major surgery I WAS ASSURED BY CHENG THAT HE WOULD TREAT ME LIKE HE WOULD TREAT A MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY NOW ITS 6 weeks post surgery and I am making great progress in Cardiac Rehabilitation THANKS TO DR CHENG HE WHO SAVED MY LIFE
I recently had double bypass surgery. With such a serious and invasive procedure it was a great comfort to know that I was in the hands of such a well-regarded surgeon. The operation went as planned and it’s now been 8 weeks and life is getting back to normal. My sincere thanks to Dr. He and his team.
What a fantastic team from first time we spoke through to and after surgery I would like to thank all involved and a big thank you to DR HE , I’m so thankful I had DR Cheng HE as my surgeon thank you so much on the road to recovery regards David
In all my meetings with Dr He I found his professionalism outstanding. His report between doctor and client was good
From the first appointment ,to post surgery bedside visit and post op follow up I have found Dr Cheng He outstanding. Dr He is great at explaining things very clearly and detailed relating to my diagnosis and my surgery. Especially when the diagnosis is quite confronting and this is something I’ve never dealt with Before. Dr Cheng He also allowed me to ask questions and explained the answers in great detail. He has never made me feel uncomfortable about asking questions. Dr He has a great bedside manner and i found him very easy to talk to.
Amazing ,highly skilled professional The best outcome 🙏
