    I first encounter Dr. Rigby in 2008 when I came in the emergency room and he performed surgery on me with aorta dissection. I was impressed that he remembered the details from that first encounter, which was many years ago.

    I had a very good experience with the care I received from the entire staff. I have already referred Dr Rigby to my family and friends in case they need heart surgery. I am very satisfied with Dr Rigby and I refer him with any reservations. Thanks Dr. Rigby and staff.
