Members of our multidisciplinary surgery teams are board-certified,
fellowship-trained cardiothoracic, thoracic, and vascular surgeons.
Most of our surgeons have acquired unique areas of interest and, in some cases,
additional training to be able to successfully perform difficult and
complex thoracic and/or cardiothoracic surgeries.
This subspecialization allows for a greater
ability to successfully treat complex cases involving all aspects of
thoracic, cardiac, vascular and endovascular surgery.
Our surgical teams also include physician assistants and nurse practitioners,
all working together to provide the highest level of expert, compassionate care to our patients.
