About
Philosophy of Care
If you are in need of a Cardiothoracic Surgeon then you are faced with what is often a dangerous and debilitating condition in need of surgical redress. I strive to provide state-of-the-art surgical care for heart and lung disease, such as coronary artery bypass grafting, valve replacement, and minimally invasive lung cancer resection. We have a very friendly and welcoming office atmosphere and will make ourselves available to suit your schedule and needs.
