Doctor Montero saved my life performing emergency quadruple bypass surgery following a heart attack November 6, 1999. In my humble opinion he is the number 1 cardiac surgeon in the Pacific Northwest. His team at Kootenai Hospital took exceptional care of me during the surgery including my recovery. Thank you Doctor Montero!
