James J. Livesay, MD, FACS

Dr. Livesay performed quadruple bypass surgery on my mom in 1996 when she was 70 years old. She lived to 92. And passed from cancer. The bypass surgery was only supposed last 10 years max! Dr. Livesay is one of the best thoracic surgeons in the world!

I have never come across a Dr. as caring and good as Dr. Livesay. When I say he saved my life Im not exaggerating, he literally saved my life!! I had a splenic artery aneurysm that was huge and needed surgery immediately but I didnt have insurance. Dr. Livesay went to bat for me with the hospital, he called me personally numerous times to check status of hospital response and scheduling - he didnt have his nurse call or his office manager, etc...HE called me and stayed on top of the situation and got the hospital to lower their requirements for me to be admitted for this surgery. I had had numerous Drs tell me there would be no way to save my spleen but that was the least of my worries. Dr. Livesay not only removed the aneurysm and repaired the artery, he saved the majority of my spleen as well. There are no words in the English language to thank this man or to describe his caring, concern and complete professionalism. I have recommended him to everyone I know and have told everyone I can what he did for me. There is not a Dr anywhere that I would recommend more than Dr Livesay.

I had two previous aortic valves replaced by doctor Denton Cooley and found myself needing repair on the ascending aorta had a 5.4 cm aneurism. Entire officer team is prompt and courteous . Dr leachman cardiology team suggested I use doctor James Livesay. What an great human experience. Spent over an hour explaining in detail the treatment and risks. And here I am now, surgery was the 16 and result was excellent. Aside from the pain of getting my sternum opened 3 times I believe it all worked out. I am 59. Doctor follows up daily with every patient. I live in Miami.
