I enrolled in the Wal-mart Center of Excellance program.  I was flown to Danville,PA.  Dr. Russell Carter performed my quintuple bypass heart surgery.   From the pre-op to the surgery and recovery and getting me home was outstanding.  His bedside manner and his nursing staff made me feel so comfortable and well taken care of.  I would highly recommend this surgeon and Hospital.
