Dr. Ralph James Damiano JR.

This doctor literally saved my life in 2005. He is very knowledgeable and up to date on all cardiac procedures. I would highly recommend him.

Knowledgeable and skilled surgeon, but if you have complications that are not directly related to your recent surgery he will not take care of you. He will let hospitalist at the hospital take care if you, and he will not be involved in your care. I believe if he had even once looked into my complication, he would have known what was going on. I also believe I could have been spared the life threatening complication that followed my surgery. Disappointed in the surgeon mentality.

Saved my life ! Much respect , always!!

I feel fortunate to have been treated by this outstanding cardiothoracic surgeon who performed minimally-invasive surgery on me six weeks ago. He repaired a severely leaking mitral valve in addition to afib correction during the surgery and both procedures appear to have been very successful. I would highly recommend this physician to anyone anywhere. We live over 250 miles from Barnes Hospital in St. Louis but would have traveled even further for his expert care!

Excellent surgeon. Genuinely cares about his patients. As far as I'm concerned, he saved my life. It's a scary thing to know your doctor will be holding your heart in his hands (literally), but his knowledge, concern, and outstanding care made it a wonderful experience.

Dr. Damiano is an excellent surgeon who ensures the best care for his patients. Prior to surgery I was well-informed and all pre-surgical preparations were handled with ease. Post-surgical care was excellent and more comfortable than expected. He is the best surgeon I have personally experienced.

Dr. Damiano was totally awesome.
