Tung Huu Cai, MD

I have given several Google reviews over the years, thanks to this man. Well actually thanks to God for sparing my life, but he used this man to do the work. Dr. Cai performed my quad bypass surgery eight years ago on 5 August. Not only did he do amazing work without having to stop my heart, but the incision was so clean and precise that eight years later, you can barely see a scar. Same thing for the back of my knees where they harvested the vessels to use in the bypass. I went into Baylor in McKinney for my fourth heart attack on August 1, 2014, and because of complications they scheduled me for bypass surgery on the 5th. I was petrified in fear before the operation, but the night before this amazing doctor came into my room to talk to me. He was so cocky! And in the best way, he just had an air of confidence about him that came off of him in waves.

He told me he had another patient in the morning, and then he was going to do mine in the early afternoon. I was immediately put at ease just because of his level of confidence. The nursing staff at Baylor hospital in Denton became my friends for life, even though I haven’t seen any of them since. I was treated like a special person by every single one of them. I still have my heart pillow signed by all of them. I keep it next to my bed to this day to remind myself of their extraordinary work.

When I went back for my three month check up, Dr. Cai asked me if I had eaten lunch yet at the end of the appointment. I told him no we had rushed over during my wife’s lunch hour. He recommended Rudy’s barbecue just around the corner! At first I thought he was being sarcastic, but then I read several articles that say that beef brisket is filled with omega nine fatty acids, which is good cholesterol not bad cholesterol.

So here I am eight years later and I really really hope you read this. Thank you for your part in saving my life.

Dr. Tung Huu Cai is a highly skilled, professional surgeon with an amazing personality; excellent communication skills; and a caring, compassionate nature. He is like a breath of fresh air!

I met him in December through a referral from Dr. Siva Sontineni, my cardiovascular doctor. I am 75 years old, and I was anxious because of pending open heart bypass surgery.

Nonetheless, Dr. Cai entered the room with his open, friendly manner, and professional expertise. He listened to my concerns and put me at ease by answering my questions and explaining the upcoming procedure.

Six days later, Dr. Cai did an outstanding job of replacing two blocked stents in my main artery, without having to take a vein from my leg!

Dr Cai saved my husband’s life with a valve replacement a few months ago. He’s clearly a brilliant surgeon but he’s also very personable. He exudes confidence which is exactly what we needed going into such a scary situation. He is smart, kind and caring. He also has a great sense of humor and made us laugh when we felt like crying. We will forever be grateful for what he did for my husband and our family. Thanks to him my three boys and I get a lifetime with an amazing man! May God bless Dr Cai today and always.

This surgeon performed a triple bypass on my husband while his heart was still beating. He is also one of the most confident, non-anxious people - never mind doctors - I have ever met. His team is great, too. I have met several others Dr. Cai has operated on and have heard only the highest reviews.
