Dr. Faisal Rahman is the provider that I saw. He performed transcatheter mitral valve repair using Mitral Clip a year ago. His bedside manner, professionalism and surgical skills were excellent and I was treated like royalty as a member of a 10-year longitudinal random trial regarding Micro Clip. I left Johns Hopkins hospital. Extremely impressed with cutting edge technology and medical excellence of the facility.
