Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

We had a wonderful first visit with Dr. Hahn and his team. He was very open about the procedure that will be necessary down the road, but he felt that, until I have more symptoms, it was not necessary at this time. He also explained the process for getting to surgery. We (myself, my husband and our daughter-in-law who accompanied us and is a nurse practioner) were all very pleased with the information conveyed and the warm way it was given. I will feel very comfortable when the time comes to have any surgery.

My experience was open heart, bypass surgery done by Dr. Chiwan Hahn. I rated the group as “5” not because every member was perfect, but that the key individuals I dealt with were so informed, skilled, experienced, responsive, respectful, and humble that their actions more than compensated for any annoyance I experienced in the group’s care. Aside from being well known in the Richmond area as a particularly careful, insightful, concerned, thorough, and detailed planner, Dr. Hahn’s decades long experience comes with a higher success rate than the national average, and his “beside manner” tops that of nearly all of the medical specialists I have met.

I found my relation with Dr. Hahn to be extremely satisfactory. Dr. Hahn was brief and to the point in describing my condition and choices before me. The resultant aortic valve replacement by catheter went perfectly. My condition is remarkably improved. I would recommend Dr. Hahn to anyone requiring heart surgery.

Dr. Hahn's staff was friendly and accommodating. There was an issue with their location so I was late to my appointment. They did not require that I reschedule and even fit me in the same day to have an echo done. Dr. Hahn spent more than ample time with me going over my status and plan for moving forward. I found him to be quite warm, knowledgeable and approachable. I was very impressed with both Dr. Hahn and his staff!!

Dr. Hahn is an outstanding surgeon. He performed triple by-pass surgery on my heart in 1998. A recent catheterization showed the by-passes to be almost as good as they were when he did the surgery. He is also very good at explaining your condition and how he plans to correct the problem as well as what to expect after the surgery. Dr. Hahn takes the time to answer and explain any questions concerning your specific situation.
