Michael Argenziano, M.D.

Dr. Argenziano and his team were wonderful! They explained everything ie the pre-op, the surgery, as well as the post op things my wife would experience and they were always at the ready to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needed open heart surgery!

I just want to start by saying how we are blessed to have found Dr. Argenziano. My husband was 35 yrs old when he needed open heart Sx due to a congenital heart defect. He had an aortic valve replaced (mechanical) with partial aorta repair. Dr.Argenziano made us feel comfortable as soon as we stepped foot through his door. He was down to earth, honest, and not a doctor that would just open you up for money. We knew my husband needed surgery but it was a matter of when. Dr Argenziano gave us all of the options and told us to think about it and was never pushy. 2 years later this month, my husband is healthier than ever. Thank you Dr. Argenziano and team for helping us through the most difficult time and most importantly, thank you for saving his life.

Highly professional Surgeon & staff ! Couldn’t be more impressed & pleased …from first meeting through the surgery 7 days later..

At 51 years old, I had Mitral Valve Repair Surgery on 8/13/14 and all went well. A routine checkup of my prolapsing valve was done back in April and it showed that the prolapse went to severe which enlarged my heart. Surgery was required to prevent bad things from happening. I was very fortunate to be given a warning of the problem. I must have Angels looking out for me, as I had no symptoms. After much research, Dr. Michael Argenziano and the team of terrific Doctors at New York Columbia Presbyterian were found to be the best choice. The Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair via Right Thoracotomy Approach was used. The minimally invasive way keeps the ribs and bones intact and has a shorter recovery time at 4-6 weeks. The things they are able to routinely do are truly amazing. Recovery went well. At 4 weeks I was 65% of normal. At 6 weeks I was able to return to work. 38 visits to Exercise Cardio Rehab helped me regain my to strength. It did take my body a little over a year to fully recover. Each day I thank God it all worked out. Life is so precious. Unlike so many who have died without warnings from heart problems, I was given the opportunity to have top ranking Doctors fix it. No Worries, Life is good! Thanks, Gil Aliberto
