Dr. Ibrahim Sultan, MD

Excellent team and dr was amazing as was his assistant

Dr sultan performed valve replacement surgery on my heart. I do have a complicated medical history. However, he was extremely arrogant and refused to consult any other doctors regarding my care. He forgot to give me a medicine post-op that caused severe difficulties. We made sure we made him aware of this in his office before surgery. He actually told us he didn’t have time to look at my chart and dropped the ball. As a result, I was on the hospital for 3 months. They damaged my vocal cords, I now require permanent tracheotomy. I would not recommend him unless you are in perfect health. Even then, I would look for more than one doctor.

In early 2018 I discovered that I had an aneurysm in my ascending aorta and a bicuspid aortic valve. I had been following with another cardiac surgeon who then retired from medicine, so after research I selected Dr. Sultan and the team at UPMC for my care. I am so glad that I did so! Earlier in 2022 we noted that the aneurysm had grown to a size that warranted surgical intervention. I had surgery at the end of November 2022 and I had an excellent outcome. I was discharged after only 4 days stay in the hospital, and my recovery at home progressed even better than I could have imagined. It is now six weeks since my surgery and I am about 90% back to where I was pre-surgery. Dr. Sultan and his entire team did an excellent job and I recommend them highly!
