After experiencing multiple health issues and undergoing quintuple bypass surgery, Johnny Skelley found relief and improved health with the help of cardiologist Dr. Ajay Pachika at UT Health East Texas. Skelley, who had been struggling with ongoing health problems despite surgery, sought a second opinion from Dr. Pachika after experiencing persistent symptoms. In the cath lab, Dr. Pachika discovered a blood clot blocking two of Skelley’s bypasses, providing immediate relief and improved blood flow.
Skelley praised Dr. Pachika and nurse Brianna for their attentive care and the positive impact on his health and quality of life. Through rehabilitation and lifestyle changes, including exercise, healthy diet, and weight loss, Skelley has regained his strength and endurance. Walking regularly in his neighborhood and participating in chair yoga classes, he credits his faith and determination for keeping him motivated on his journey to better health.
Reflecting on his experience, Skelley is grateful for the expertise and care he received at UT Health East Texas and remains determined to lead a healthy and active life moving forward. Embracing a healthier diet and staying active, Skelley’s resilience and commitment to his well-being serve as an inspiration for others facing similar health challenges. For those seeking cardiac care services, UT Health East Texas offers comprehensive and compassionate care to support patients on their journey to better heart health.
