Dr. Abrishamchian and the Cardiology Team at UPMC Pinnacle Harrisburg

From start to finish, the team at UPMC Harrisburg Hospital took such good care of me when I needed open heart surgery for a triple bypass.

This came completely out of the blue beginning with a routine annual visit to Dr. Hubbard with UPMC Cardiology and escalating pretty quickly to meeting with Dr. Abrishamchian with Heart and Thoracic Surgery to discuss when I could get in for heart surgery. And all through the process, no matter how scared I was for being so young and this being so unexpected, every health professional did everything they could to make sure I was comfortable, informed, and ready for what came next.

I can't thank Dr. Abrishamchian enough for giving me a second chance at life with this successful surgery and with knowing that not only was I in good hands, I was in the best hands with UPMC.
