Recommends Available On Time Friendly Professional Knowledgeable Understandable ReachableDr. Batter operated on me in 2008 for an ascending aortic aneurysm. I was given very little chance of surviving my problem, the surgery or even getting to the hospital. Almost 9 years later here I am. I have a few problems from a stroke but my heart is doing fine. Regular check ups with my doctor in Texas says i am good. I credit Dr, Batter with saving my life and I thank God he was at Methodist Hospital in Omaha the day I was brought there by ambulance. I would like to tell him "thank you for giving me a chance to live and enjoy each day." Dr. Batter is my HERO.
