"Dr. Gerdisch was super with his communications to my family and myself. His team and Franciscan Health were fantastic. He gave us his personal phone number to call if needed. I played tennis 3 weeks after surgery. Dr. Gerdisch installed SternaLock brackets to hold my sternum together following surgery. I had no pain!"
