I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for Dr. Crespo and my cardiologist, Dr. Mansoor Reza. Dr. Reza referred me to Dr. Crespo, who approached my case with incredible care and professionalism. Despite the complexities and mysteries surrounding my medical history, Dr. Crespo treated my situation as if it were personal to him, ensuring I felt supported and confident in the care I was receiving.My heart condition has been both a fearful and stressful journey for me and my family, but with the care of these exceptional doctors, I am determined to overcome the challenges it presents. Their dedication and expertise have given me hope and strength to move forward.Thank you again to both doctors for their unwavering commitment.
