Cardiothoracic Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical Center

World Class surgeon who, with the team at Weill Cornell, provided the best care in the world for my Mitral Valve Repair (Robotic) in Nov 2024. I wouldn't entertain any other place and Doctor after my experience with Dr. Stephanie Mick. From pre-op meetings, tests and finally the surgery, every step was performed and monitored by multiple world class doctors, ICU nurses and nurse practitioners for the best care I could have imagined. My recovery was fast and made easy by the special approach (robotic) and the exceptional monitoring of my recovery by a happy and very qualified team. It was leading edge technology, knowledge, care and attention to detail all of the way. Within two weeks I am back to (almost) normal activities knowing that there is still much rest and recovery needed - I already feel great! Having said that, I am dutifully following Doctor's orders to NOT over do it in spite of feeling so good. I most highly recommend Weill Cornell and Dr. Stephanie Mick.

Dr. Villena-Vargas is an excellent surgeon and caring provider. He and his surgical team took very good care of me during my hospitalization and the office staff have been very helpful in scheduling after-care appointments. I highly recommend him.
