I had the first TCAR procedure on the east coast of Florida and was out of the hospital the next day. Dr. Ricotta performed the surgery on a Thursday and the following Monday I was back to work. My wife and son were very happy with Dr. Ricotta and the results of his surgery. Knowing the carotid artery is unclogged has increased my self-confidence. I feel great!
