Heart & Vascular Care

Patient Testimonials 

Patients appreciate the convenience and peace of mind of having local access to advanced heart and vascular services. Below are a few examples of the comments Prevea Health has received from some of the patients and their families who have entrusted us with their care.

"As an expectant mother, learning that my baby had a heart defect was a time of nervousness and uncertainty. When Dr. Cousineau explained that the treatment was a routine surgical procedure, his good news calmed my fears. He worked closely with the specialists at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin before and after my son's surgery and today my son has a healthy life ahead of him. My husband and I feel very fortunate to have someone of Dr. Cousineau's caliber in our area."

"After my heart attack, doctors discovered I had a blockage in the main artery of my heart. Instead of undergoing open-heart surgery, Dr. Roh used angioplasty to open the blood vessel and inserted a stent to make sure the artery stayed open. Thanks to Dr. Roh's innovative procedure, I was back home in just four days. Since then I've lost 90 pounds—and have never felt better."

"When diagnosed with a leaky mitral valve in my heart, I knew I was facing surgery.  However, Dr. Seccombe was able to repair the valve instead of replacing it, which was a big relief. This enabled me to fully recover without having to take blood thinners for the rest of my life. I'm feeling great again and my nine grandchildren are definitely happy to have their energetic grandpa back."

"When 'not feeling good' started affecting my golf game, I decided it was time I got checked out. I was referred to Dr. Tanke who performed an angioplasty with stenting to help unblock one of the arteries in my heart. Now my energy level is back up there and I'm feeling fine. I'm really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things out on the golf course."

—Ken Kittleson

"After having a stroke doctors discovered a hole in my heart. My first thoughts were of open-heart surgery, a painful recovery, and a lot missed time from work. I couldn't believe it when Dr. Tanke told me he could fix the hole without any surgery at all. The procedure only took about 30 minutes, and I was awake for the whole thing. A day later I was back home. Thanks Dr. Tanke!."
