  • Dr. Starr performed open heart surgery for my son when he was six weeks old. He now is 7 years old and doing very well. Thank you Dr. Starr!! Words cant express how thankful I am that we have doctors like Dr. Starr to save lives everyday.. God bless you and all the other cardiac surgeons..

  • I was born with tricuspid atresia. Dr. Starr did my first heart surgery when I was 2 months old. I had two more surgeries wtihin the next 5 years. Today I am 35 years old and preparing for my fourth heart surgery. I will be having an open heart with the fontan revision. I am eternally grateful to all the surgeons, nurses, and other doctors that have asssisted me in my heart surgeries. Thank you!

  • I would not be alive today if not for my successful heart surgery in 1959. I was the first patient to have my heart stopped for such a long period of time. I am 59 yrs old this year and have given birth to 3 children. Thank You Dr. Starr!
