I can echo on what others have stated. Dr. Shemin is the best of the best! After one meeting with him you feel confident you're dealing with a master of his craft and a down to earth human being at that. My wife, and mother to our boys and daughter needed her mitral valve repaired due to it regurgitating into her lungs causing her to have shortness of breath, and if not treated quickly many other complications to follow. News of the needed surgery came as a shock because my wife has always maintained an active lifestyle and suddenly that came to a halt due to her shortness of breath that resulted from the leaky mitral valve. Ultimately, Dr. Shemin was able to repair her valve through minimally invasive surgery. We are now 2 1/2 months out from her surgery and she is making great progress in getting back to her normal lifestyle of exercising and being able to fully take care of the kids and household. It's so hard to put into words the emotional rollercoaster you go through from seeing your significant other decline so rapidly and ultimately ascend back to normal in such a short window of time, all thanks to Dr. Shemin and our nurses. God bless Dr. Shemin and all of the staff at UCLA health. You are all angels in our hearts and minds. Thank you all so much for this rebirth you've given our family!

My wife of less than a year was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse/regurgitation. At just 32 years old it was, of course, a shock for both of of us. Dr. Shemin was able to repair her valve with the use of a small piece of bovine valve tissue. This was an improvisation on his part. He was honest in telling me after the procedure that, because the valve was so damaged, he didn’t actually think he’d be able to repair it. Rather, he believed it would need replacing, which is a much less desirable outcome. But he pulled a Hail Mary and the repair was successful. Needless to say, I’m forever in debt to Dr. Shemin. He saved the love of my life and enabled her to live a completely normal existence. No blood thinners and (hopefully) no second surgery down the road. And on top of all that, he’s a hell of a nice guy. Our post op conversation was delightful.

This review is long overdue! Dr. Shemin saved my daughter's life 2 years ago. There are no words with which I can thank you enough. You are the only person in the world who at one point held my Melody's heart in his hands and healed it and I'm forever grateful!

Dr Shemin is the most, talented, experienced, committed, skilled and kind surgeon we could ever imagine. Anyone who is able to have Dr Shemin as his surgeon is fortunate beyond measure. My husband required a complicated and urgent surgery with 2 valve replacements and bypass surgery (CABG) on 3 arteries. Our local hospital felt the surgery was too risky and that we needed to go to a top teaching hospital. We were extremely fortunate to get to UCLA and Dr. Shemin who adjusted his schedule to perform the 10 hour surgery. Dr Shemin and his team successfully completed the surgery and then attended to my husband with great professionalism and commitment during his recovery. We thank God every day for Dr Shemin and how blessed we are to have found him. We are also grateful for his entire team of highly skilled, committed and caring professionals.
