Dr. Babu took the time to explain what needed to be done for my 82 year old mother. We feel confident in him and St. Thomas.

When my CT Dye Scan results came back that I had 90% blockage in my LAD (widow maker), My Cardiologist recommended I see a minimal invasive bypass surgeon Dr. Ashok N. Babu. Dr. Babu met me right away and recommended that I have Robotically-assisted Minimally Invasive Bypass Surgery for my LAD which we did research on and agreed to have it done. He was able to get me scheduled to have for surgery a few days later which only took him 2 hours to do. He is a Brilliant surgeon who is very proficient at using the robotic arms which require no cutting the sternum open. Instead the procedure uses the tiny robotic arms thru the ribs just under the left nipple. I am so happy we decided to go with the Robotically-assisted Minimally Invasive Bypass Surgery. I only have 3 tiny scars and the recovery way faster then the traditional heart bypass surgery. I was only in the hospital for only 3 days and was on the Treadmill on day 4 walking 2 1/2 miles and now it has been 2 1/2 months and I am back to working out with weights 3-4 times a week and jogging 3 miles a day for at least 5 days a week. I Can't thank Dr. Babu enough for saving my life and adding 20-30 years back to my life!! ღஐƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒஐღ** Very Highly Recommended**ღஐƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒஐღ

August 16th 2016 5 years ago today Dr Ashok N Babu performed Open Heart Surgery on me and I am happy to say I'm very grateful for him and everyone at St Thomas West for taking such good care of me. From what I was told I wasn't the most pleasant patient during my stay. Unfortunately the next 2 1/2 years following surgery were not so good to me. I got to where I couldn't lift my leg up to wash my foot, I had gained weight and my eating habits only got worse as time went on, and my energy level was at a all time low. In January 2019 I decided to make a change in my lifestyle and I'm happy to say I've lost several pounds, dropped 4 pant sizes and made better choices in my eating habits. My blood pressure and vitals are all where they should be and I continue to exercise weekly. Thank you St Thomas West and Dr Babu! without you and your team I never would have made it through this tough time in my life and because of you I hope to continue on the path to a better healthy life. I am truly grateful for everything you do for your patients, and I thank GOD for putting you in my life! Sincerely, William Copeland
