st michaels is the best. i had dr krauss. and dr upal in hazlet nj found a hole in my heart that i had since i was a baby that no one ever found. i had heart surgery as a child at deborah to open a valve that kept shutting. well apparently they never told my mom and dad that i also had a hole. i went my whole life up until last year (im 40) with out knowing it. i always felt fine. very active and athletic. i would go to gym 5 days a week and do intense aerobics. never had problems all of a sudden last year i was tired,out of breath easily and when i got stressed i felt like i was having a heart attack. went to dr upal and he said i had a murmer which i knew i did. my heart always sounded different than a normal heart. like a swooshing sound. so anyway he ordered catherization my arteries are perfect(must be the vodka i drink that keeps them clean)but there was whole.2 weeks later all patched up. i feel great. st michaels is wonderful. great people there. i went in on wednsday i was home friday afternoon. good luck
