Dr Hargrove is AWESOME! My heart surgery was my first time ever spending the night in a hospital. So, I was very nervous up until my surgery. She answered any & all the questions I had and made it easy to understand. She explained in detail what was going to happen. Her & her staff made my whole experience easy to deal with. They always kept in touch with me & helped make every appointment, etc. For my first time in a hospital, I am so thankful she was my surgeon. The day of my surgery I was ready and had full confidence in her ability. Her care after surgery helped make my recovery even easier. Along with my cardiologist Dr Winters, she saved my life. As I’ve told her, she’s now my favorite doctor. I’ve literally been getting better every day post surgery, just as she explained. I’m now looking forward to my good health, thanks to Dr Hargrove. Trust me, don’t let anyone else touch something as important as your heart.

Dr Hargrove was great to se her. She explained everything and was very helpful.

Amazing doctor with a heart of gold. She is very knowledgeable and skilled. Cares about you as a person and treats the whole person. I would highly recommend her.

Initial consult for AVR/CABG, covering what to expect before, during and after the procedure. Dr. Hargrove clearly described all the upcoming steps leading to the actual surgery and those involved in the recovery process. I don't have any anxieties regarding the procedure and aftermath and am looking forward to getting back to a life I haven't enjoyed for a while now. Watching Youtube is ok for generalities, but postings that are years out of date describing procedures in place at the time aren't helpful in anticipating details of what you'll be experiencing today. Also, Dr. Hargrove was able to put my 94 year old mom's mind at ease. She tends to be a glass-half-empty sort, so her state of anxiety has been my greatest concern about this entire adventure.

After my sister passed away last October very suddenly, I decided to have a series of tests for blockage since it does run in our family. I am 75, feeling great, but still wanted to do this because of how sudden she passed. After a few tests, it was suggested I have an angiogram since there was something suspicious. After having that done, I find I need a Triple Bypass. What a shock! My cardiac doctor and Dr. Hargrove came in to see me and deliver this news. Instantly I liked her. Her soft smile and confidence filled the room and I felt I was in great hands. I had my surgery on June 29th and she came in every day to see and speak with me. Explained everything before, during and after surgery. I was so lucky to get her and if anyone gets a choice of a doctor at Orange Coast Memorial for heart surgery, she's your lady. I thank her for saving my life. I feel my sister's passing also saved my life because if she had not passed, I would have never had the tests.

She carefully explained the multiple procedures that I needed in simple English with props. She dropped in daily after the procedure was completed and kept me informed of my progress. She gave me a new lease on life. She is professional, courteous, well trained, and competent. I highly recommend her should you need assistance with you heart.
