About Dr. T. Sloane Guy,
Heart Valve Surgeon

"I had a mitral valve repair and cardiac ablation performed by Dr. Guy eight weeks ago.

I had been experiencing prolonged episodes of palpitations on any given day for many years, that were negatively affecting my life. In short, they were driving me crazy. When they occurred, I didn’t feel well.

I’m a doctor and after hearing about Dr. Guy, I did my research. Among other things, I listened to his lectures to other cardiothoracic surgeons on the Internet, and was impressed. I came to realize that he is one of the best in the world at performing robotic mitral valve surgery. I had consultations with several different doctors who practice in the area in which I live, but after speaking with Dr. Guy on a video consultation, I knew he was the one that was going to perform the surgery. He was very confident and concise. He spent a lot of time with me explaining the procedure and answering my questions.

I flew from Pennsylvania to Georgia for surgery in August 2023. I was discharged from the hospital several days post op . At two weeks post op, I was back in the gym lifting weights, taking it easy of course. At eight weeks post op, I feel great. The troublesome palpitations are gone and I feel better than I have in years. I’m in the gym 1 1/2 hours a day, three days a week with no limitations.

Dr. Guy is a brilliant, caring surgeon with a great personality, and an amazing staff. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of mitral valve surgery."

"Dr. Guy repaired my mitral valve via a minimally-invasive robotic procedure. I selected him per the recommendation of my cardiologist.

Two months after my surgery, I am very happy and satisfied with my decision. The operation had the best possible outcome. Even though my mitral valve was severely impaired, resulting to a high degree of regurgitation, Dr. Guy was able to avoid a mechanical valve replacement, and a sternotomy.

Two weeks after the operation, I could walk outdoors for 1/2 to 1 hour at a time, twice a day. Test performed by my cardiologist showed a normal valve repair, and I returned to work less than six weeks after the operation. I am currently making great progress at my cardiac rehabilitation program.

Dr. Guy is one of few surgeons in the country and the world who have mastered the complex and delicate minimally invasive robotic mitral valve surgery. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs this operation.

Thank you Dr. Guy!"

"Dr. Guy was a fantastic choice to perform my wife's Mitral Valve Repair via Lateral Endocscopic Approach using Robotic assistance.

When we met Dr. Guy he was absolutely the most up front surgeon we talked to (we talked to 3 others in person or on the phone). Never once did he down play the way other surgeons were operating and recommended the names of those we should talk to if we were looking for more traditional approaches. He was straight forward, concise, knowledgeable and made time to talk to us, even staying late on a Friday after a surgery to answer any and all questions we had.

During the surgery he made sure his entire team kept me and my wife's family up to date on the surgical proceedings, gave us a detailed description of what occurred during the surgery when he was finished and followed up with us daily until we were discharged. We left the hospital after 4 days and are recovering daily in the comfort of our home.

I would recommend Dr. Guy and the staff he has assembled to anyone."

"Dr. T. Sloane Guy is fantastic. He is right to the point and tells you each step you will go through. He does extensive testing before hand, which is good because it saved my life. He is very caring. I was up and around in 3 weeks (my other doctors told me 3 to 6 months). I would recommend him to anyone who needs heart surgery."
