Arnar Geirsson Md's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Geirsson is a professional expert in heart valve repair using a robotic non-invasive method. After meeting with him, he said I had a severe mitral valve leak. During surgery he observed I had 6 leaks and he took his time to repair all of them. He also did a maze for AFIB. Pre-op he had a block done to help with post-op pain. I highly recommend Dr. Geirsson. I'm recovering now and feeling better every day. He is a True Professional.

Still alive and well five years after open heart surgery. He did a great job.

In a word "fantastic". I needed mitral valve repair surgery, and couldn't have asked for a more skilled, caring and competent cardiac surgeon. From start to finish, Dr. Geirsson and his team explained everything in terms I could understand; I was 100% aware of each step in the process; and felt like they were laser-focused on me as a person and as a patient. The robotic surgery was successful, I was out of the hospital in 3 days and back to work in 2 weeks. I feel great and am glad that I had the surgery when I did. If you need valve work, don't put it off - the sooner you get it done, the quicker you will be up and about. I would not hesitate to return to this provider and his team. Dr. Geirsson has earned my trust and confidence....I recommend him to everyone who needs cardiac work.

I had a robotic mitral valve repair by Dr. Geirsson in January 2021. Dr. Geirsson was thorough, kind, understanding, and communicated everything very well. Everyone associated with Dr. Geirsson and my surgery was also first rate in providing expert care. Every inquiry I had was taken seriously and responses were direct, easy to understand, and individualized. The hospital care at Yale was also excellent, from CICU to discharge, everything needed was provided with both compassion and expertise. I am very pleased with the outcome of the surgery and highly recommend Dr. Geirsson and cardiac care at Yale.

I had a great experience with the team at Yale under the direction of Dr. Geirsson for robotic mitral valve repair in Oct. of 2020. Prior to surgery I got a second opinion from another large healthcare system and consulted personal contacts working in the cardiothoracic industry. The feedback on Dr Geisson and his team was outstanding. He's recognized among his peers as one of the most talented surgeons in the world for this type of procedure. Based on my experience, I would agree. Their diagnostic process was very thorough and included a comprehensive assessment of my overall health and pre-existing conditions. They developed a detailed plan for the surgery, post op care and long-term recovery. In the three months since surgery I've recovered well and am enjoying a much-improved quality of life. I continue to be impressed by the level of care and personal attention I receive in recovery. He and his team do outstanding work.

Dr Geirsson is FANTASTIC! I never had pain the entire time in the hospital. The operation was open heart surgery to repair four clogged arteries and a new aorta value. The staff at Yale was also FANTASIC from the girl who checked me in to the lady out who wheeled me out. The tuffest part was waiting to go into the hospital for the operation. Dr Geirsson is the BEST.

Dr. Giersson and his staff ( especially Maureen) was so considerate and caring and if I ever need a heart specialist again, without a doubt Dr. Giersson will be the one.

Dr Geirsson saved my life from an anomalous of the left main coronary artery and I can't thank him enough. He was very knowledgeable, provided answers to all our questions about my condition and what the open heart surgery would fix. He was wonderful with my family after the surgery to help them to understand how the surgery went and when I was strong enough to ask he reexplained all the details to me. He has great bedside manor.

I needed to have my mitral valve repaired or replaced. Having other medical complications I chose to have this surgery performed robotically by Dr. Geirsson. I have recovered very well and am walking more comfortably than before the surgery, making it up hills without losing my breath. Dr. Geirsson was professional and thorough and I would highly recommend both him and this procedure to anyone requiring this surgery.

my wife had a double bypass and a valve replacement. i was so impressed with his work that when i needed a valve also, he was my go to guy.
