This Dr. saved my life. I had to have a Valve replacement done in 1917 and the Dr that did the procedure did not secure the Valve and within hours I was back in surgery to have it replaced. Dr. Noda did the 2nd surgery and I had to spend 12 days in the hospital. By the time I came home I spend a lot of time in bed, and I slowly got better. It was a hard surgery and took 1 year to get well. I mean back to feeling like myself. If he had not done the 2nd surgery I would have died.
