Dr. Mark Menefee Mettauer

After initial consultation waited 19 days for any communication response from this office. This was after being told at original consultation bypass would needed within 1 or 2 weeks. Numerous emails and phone messages went unanswered. My understanding is Dr. Mettauer is a great surgeon but has a very big problem with communication with patience. I ended up going to St Luke's in the medical center.

Dr. Mettauer is a truly gifted surgeon, his phenomenal skills and commitment to patient care are unsurpassed! A brilliant surgeon making a difference by saving lives! My wife and I are eternally grateful! God Bless You and Yours.

Two years after triple bypass. Doing great. He's the best!

Dr Mark Mettauer is a genius in his field of medicine! We’ve had the pleasure of having him as my dads surgeon twice now! Should we ever need a cardiac surgeon I will request Dr Mettauer!

He was amazing!! He did a quadruple bypass on my husband! Not only is he a fine surgeon I also Loved the prayers he prayed before surgery!!

He did the open heart (3xbypass)on my husband "mostafavi" after 7 months of pain and discomfort we found out the grafted arteries were detached

I believe in Dr. Mettauer. Hopefully I won't need anymore surgery after my quadruple bypass but if it becomes necessary Dr. Mettauer is the only surgeon I would use! ????

Honestly and grateful for his expertise and Medical knowledge in our time of need. I'm sure my Husband received the best care from start to finish and we are on a great road to recovery. ????????????

This doctor is just plain awesome! When we discussed my husbands surgery, he was calm, listened and answered all of our questions, and put us at ease in a very stressful situation. On the day of surgery he came in to check on us then proceeded to do a 5 hour quadruple bypass on John. The entire time a surgical nurse kept me updated via phone. After surgery he came by for a quick chat before he was off to do another surgery. Dr. Mettauer did an amazing job. He came by every day to check on him. One of the best things about his practice is that his nurse, Shannon, is available anytime to answer last minute questions or solve any problem. Instead of the patient coming in to get their stitches out and tape removed Shannon comes to your house! It’s great to have someone willing to come to your home to do the checkup then walk through your house to help you solve any problems you are having! If you have to have heart or vascular surgery I can’t imagine using anyone but Dr. Mettauer! One last thing- he looks like a tall surfer dude, but don’t let his looks deceive you, he’s from right here in Texas! This doctor is just plain awesome!

I am 48 yrs old. 6'-7" 230 Had a pain in my side, and after several tests I had no solid answers. Exploratory surgery was the option I went with. If there was nothing great, but if there was Dr Mettauer would, (and did take care of it.) I was given a full description on what was done, and what to expect during the recovery. The pain is no joke. I dont like medication, but had to for this. All negative for cancer thank God, but had to cut out some bacteria they could be an issue at a later date. Highly recommended Dr. Mettauer. Take care, good luck, and God bless. I am 48 yrs old. 6'-7" 230 Had a pain in my side, and after several tests I had no solid answers.

Did my triple bypass in Nov 2018. Made sure we knew what to expect, great bedside manner, amazing doctor and better person. Guided us to quick recovery, minimal pain experienced and always had a quick smile for you and a comforting prayer. Great staff as well.

Overall talented and great surgeon. I'm fortunate he did my surgery with overwhelming success with no complications. My career as a submarine sailor was questionable until he performed my surgery. Thank you and I owe all my continued success which YOU enabled me to achieve.

A Great Surgeon and an Even Better Human. He was the Best Dr I could've asked for. He Communicates well, he Listens and He's Caring... Before Surgery, he gathered the family & said a Prayer while we all held hands... Truly an Amazing Man in a Time of Crisis for the Family! My surgery was a Double Bypass and it went flawlessly!

Dr. Mettauer is one of those almost extinct physicians who actually care and take time to ensure patients understand and are comfortable with his care. He answers all the questions reasonably without a sense of robotic repetiveness though it may be the 10,000 time he has answered the same question. I have referred friends and family.

Wonderful surgeon and man.He operated on my sister and we could not feel afraid because of how he took care of her and myself as her caretaker. The most important thing he did was pray with all of the nurses and assistants before her surgery. He included my sister and me in the prayer circle. It was probably the most profound thing I have ever experienced . I will tell everyone to go to this great man for heart surgery. His assistant Shannon is also a wonderful person and so very patient.

Dr. Mettauer listened to our fears about installing a port in my disabled sister. He even modified his procedure to further reduce the risk of hitting a lung. A few years later, he saved her life by performing an unprecedented procedure to prevent an impending arterial rupture by ligating the artery before it burst. This man is our angel on earth for taking this risk with us. He's given us the past four years and more to come because he saw rose to a challenge not found in textbooks.

Dr Mettauer performed my aortic valve replacement in Sept 2017. I am 3 weeks post-op and feeling better than ever...no issues and making a super speedy recovery. His nurse Shannon is great...always on top of things and very accommodating. If you need a cardio-thoracic surgeon, go see Dr Mettauer...he'll take care of you.

Dr. Mettauer performed successful bypass surgery on me in July. When visiting with him prior to the surgery date, he explained the surgery, answered all of my questions, and actually took the time to diagram the procedure for me. He followed up with me while in the hospital, and was very encouraging related to my recovery. He deeply cares for his patients, and I am blessed and grateful to have Dr Mettauer as my surgeon. His nurse Shannon is professional, well organized, and was very helpful.

Dr. Mettauer recently, 06272017, performed an open lung biopsy on me. He was present before the procedure to explain what was to happen. He answered all of our questions and we never felt rushed. After the procedure he personally checked on me and within a few days removed the tubes from my lungs with no problems whatever. He is an exceptional surgeon with a caring and professional bedside manner. He also performed heart surgery on my father in law a couple of years ago in the same manner.

Not just a great doctor but a greater human being and a true believer, thank you for the prayer before surgery that was awesome, thank you and love you forever.

Dr. Mettauer performed my lung surgery successfully, enabling me to continue and further my career as a submarine sailor in the US Navy. I could not be more grateful to have had such a talented surgeon. Dr. Mettauer and the surgery he performed are the only reason I was allowed to stay in the Submarine Force. My success could have not been accomplished if not for him. Thank you.

My family and I could not have been more pleased in our experience with Dr. Mettauer and his nurse, Shannon. His whole surgical team was the best! Dr. Mettauer not only looked at my medical reports he listened to my concerns and acted quickly to get a tumor out of my lung. He saved my life! He is very knowledgeable and professional surgeon. This is the only man I will ever let operate on my loved ones. Dr. Mettauer, thank you for being there for me! You are my guardian angel in disguise!

This man is a lifesaver! I wish more doctors were like him. His nurse Shannon is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They work so well together. Highly recommend him.

Fast; Intelligent; Experienced

his surgery left me with a swollen lymphademia diagnosed leg that NEVER was swollen BEFORE his surgery

If we could have had one thing different in all this, it would have been to have met with Dr. Mettauer sooner. Majority of our anxiety diminished after speaking to him. His confidence was not arrogant. It was quite refreshing. He spoke to us, not at us. Everyone that we encountered told us how blessed we were to have him as our surgeon. He led us in prayer before taking my husband back for quad bypass, a man who truly knows where his talents come from.
