    How was your appointment with Dr. Herskowitz?

    Jan 04, 2023
    Last year I went through an open heart surgery peformed by DR Herskowitz. I think that it could not have been performed better. I have not sustained any pain (that means he avoided touching any nerves). and a few days later I was out of bed! So far so good!
