Performed a dangerous open heart surgery on my husband. He did a great job and my husband is still alive due to the success of the surgery.

I brought my Mother in for a surgery consult. Dr. Vlessis was easy to talk to, took plenty of time to explain everything in terms my Mother would understand. He was kind and compassionate. My Mother and I felt she was in very good hands if she needed to have Open Heart Surgery. His office staff was excellent as well.

I was rushed to St Charles 19 years ago in an ambulance. The first attempt to put in a new heart valve did not take, and I was rushed back into surgery, where a new mechanical St Jude Mitral Heart Valve was inserted by Dr Vlessis. I am hoping to go back to Bend to see him again and get his opinion on correcting the leakage around my heart valve. I was very impressed with Dr. Vlessis's bed side manner and the care and time he took with me to explain what he had done. I would highly recommend Dr. Vlessis to anyone needing heart surgery. I am sure he had a lot to do with saving my life!

Dr. Vlessis saved my husband's life 20 years ago when he performed emergency heart surgery to replace my husband's mitral valve when he had endocarditis. He was an outstanding surgeon and a warm-hearted human being. I will always be grateful to him for his medical expertise, caring and compassion.

My only surgery experience, but ultimately the most important as it saved my life. Dr. Vlessis's reputation and admiration by coworkers in the local medical field is remarkable and impressive to say the least. Unsolicited feedback by the same professional types was always incredibly passionate in admiration for his skills. His bedside manner was extremely friendly, calming and left me confident that I was in great hands. Based on what I knew that I had put my body through due to my poor choices in taking adequate recommended preventative care, other doctors implied quite strongly that I not only could have died but that only minimal long term damage to my heart having occurred is amazing. I attribute this to Dr. Vlessis's skills. Obviously, I would encourage anyone requiring this type of surgery to use him.

Dr. Vlessis was great. He treated my congenital heart defect and I was out of the hospital in 3 days. I would highly recommend him as a surgeon. He is a good person and an excellent surgeon.
