Dr. Alfonso "Chico" Chiscano

I just now found out that this "miracle" cardiologist passed last year. My deepest condolences to his family. I knew the Dr when he performed life saving surgery on me back in 2001, a quintuple bypass. He performed a miracle on me and I am still going strong to this day. RIP Dr. Chiscano, and I cannot thank you enough for giving me some extra time to spend with my family.

My husband was one of many to benefit from Dr Chiscano's great skill when he had a triple bypass at age 58 and is now 86 and still going strong thanks to Dr Chiscano. Condolences to all his family. Our Son Santos Cantu was in same graduating class from McArthur High School as Kristina

I will always have admiration to this great surgeon and good man who fighted until last moment and was always open to help. Siempre un inmenso placer encontrarle en los grandes congresos o comiendo con Mary Alice una magnifica paella en BARCELONA. Descansa en paz, amigo!!!

Chico was always known as a true gentleman, friend and...

Mary Alice, Kristie and family. I feel like I lost part of my family. I saw Chico almost everyday for more than 10 years as the Director of Surgery of CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Surgery. He was one of the ones who welcomed me when I started. My husband and I met the family at various events: dinner, Canary Islands events. He was the best. A great Surgeon, Doctor, Host. He loved his family always talking about his children and grandchildren. He and Mary Alice are a great team even when they talked...
