Title
Chairman, Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Winthrop-University Hospital*
Care Philosophy
As a cardiac surgeon, I feel that it is mandatory to keep abreast of the latest techniques and technology. However, more importantly, each patient must be treated as an individual and not just a person with a cardiac issue. The success of treatment depends not only on the technical outcome, but also on the general state of well-being of the patient and the family. It is, therefore, the physician’s responsibility to focus not only on the specific disease process, but to care for the entire patient and acknowledge the patient’s family and social situation.*

What is Cardiothoracic Surgery?
Cardiothoracic surgery involves the heart and other areas within the chest. A cardiothoracic or thoracic surgeon provides care for patients with diseases within the chest area. This encompasses treating heart disease and abnormalities of the heart’s vessels and valves, lung cancer, tumors within the chest area, diseases of the diaphragm, chest injuries, and trachea and airway problems. Thoracic surgeons have exceptional knowledge of diagnostic and surgical techniques and physiology of the heart, lungs and respiratory system.
