Donald Whitaker and I trained together rand have stayed in touch ever since. He is a great guy and a wonderful surgeon. He is one of the few surgeons who still perform both cardiac and thoracic surgery.. His team, colleagues and patients speak very highly of him.. He always puts at ease those around him.
