Jon Hammer of Ossining, NY turned to Danbury Hospital’s cardiothoracic team to repair a mitral valve. “I’m glad my cardiologist referred me to Dr. Passik at Danbury Hospital. He was wonderful. He explained everything that he was going to do during surgery – even drew a diagram. Everyone at the hospital was great. The admitting people were courteous. The nurses were friendly and skilled. I found it to be a very unique place. I would highly recommend Danbury Hospital.”
