The Patient Experience

This section of our website provides a simple yet informative step-by-step guide to what you as the patient and your support system of family can expect when you trust your care and treatment to the Asheville Heart team.

For the sake of consistency, throughout this section, we refer to your “family” even though it may be a single individual or an extended group of family and friends. We should also point out that this information is based on the typical patient experience, but your particular situation may vary. You should always follow the directions of the hospital staff and members of the Asheville Heart team, even if they vary from what’s written here.   

Please remember that as a patient, your comfort and peace of mind ate of utmost important to us.
