“I’ve made it to a lot more LSU games thanks to Dr. Presser.” I met him in 2016 after two years of pains in my chest and belching from my stomach. Even though the pain started in 2014, I didn’t go to have a recommended stress done until September of 2016. At Lakeview Regional Medical Center, I finally went in for the nuclear stress test. While I was waiting for the results, that is when Dr. Presser walked in the room. As a cardiologist, he reviewed my results with me explaining the possible need for stents, but he didn’t stop there. Even though he wasn’t my assigned cardiologist, Dr. Presser shared that he had bigger concerns for me and that he wanted to me to return the following day for an angiogram. Yet, I was planning to get on a plane to head to Lambeau Field for the LSU game! Dr. Presser was adamant about me not going to the game. He even stopped me in the hallway and said, ‘You can go to a thousand LSU games in the next ten years, but don’t go to this one.’ After the angiogram was completed the next day, my wife and I were informed that I would not be leaving the hospital. Dr. Presser was right and thankfully, I didn’t go to that game. Although my heart was extremely strong, two of my main arteries were basically shutdown. Dr. Presser told us that open heart bypass surgery would be required. My procedure was a complete success. Dr. Presser even made sure that both my wife and I had his cell number so that we could contact him at any time. His quick action, incredible knowledge and
genuine concern for my wellbeing was very evident and appreciated. I feel like a new man today because of him. I know that I probably would not be here today if it weren’t for the efforts of Dr. Presser.” -Keith Ladner Dr. Presser, MD is a practicing Cardiologist (Heart Specialist) in Covington.
