"Dr. Raleigh saved my life with a quadruple bypass surgery... I think you have to ask yourself what is most important when considering heart surgery, do I want the best doctor (skilled surgeon) available, or something else? If you do your research you will find that Dr. Raleigh is one of the most skilled coronary surgeons in the country."
