-Sid in Pass Christian, MS | Dec 29, 2016
Dr Afifi performed a CABGX4 and I was able to return to work within six weeks. So far it has held up very well and I have not experienced any chest pain from angina. I've been very active since the bypass surgery and thank Dr Afifi for the excellent job he did. I now have a defibrillator and hope to live many more years. I imagine Dr Affi has improved since he did my surgery in June of 1997. 20 year anniversary in six months.

Dr. Afifi treated me for a spontaneous pneumothorax and performed a blebectomy. From the moment I met him, he thoroughly explained my condition and the treatment options. I had complete trust in his decisions and felt safe in his care. He is genuinely caring and followed up with me after my surgery. He is also very accessible; you can always reach him any time of the day. I highly recommend this surgeon! The best doctor!
