Dr Starnes performed a heart surgery on my 8 week old baby daughter with complete confidence and skill that is unbelievable in his skill set. Smart, cordial, and extremely personable and professional. Any child with a heart defect that will require a corrective surgery could not have a better Dr. to work on them. Thank you Sir for saving my child's life..!
