Honored that Philadelphia Magazine has recognized Dr. Louis Samuels, Dr. Alexandra Tuluca, and myself as 2026 Top Doctors in Cardiac Surgery.
What makes this especially meaningful is that Jefferson Einsteinโs legacy cardiac surgery program is the only program in Philadelphia where all three cardiac surgeons were recognized.
This recognition reflects far more than individual achievement. It is a testament to the extraordinary nurses, APPs, perfusionists, anesthesiologists, ICU teams, cath lab teams, office staff, and colleagues who work tirelessly every day to provide exceptional care for our patients and families.
Most importantly, thank you to our patients for placing your trust in us during some of the most important moments of your lives. It is a privilege we never take for granted.
At Jefferson Einstein Montgomery Hospital, Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital, and the Bruce & Robbi Toll Heart & Vascular Institute, we remain committed to advancing quality, compassion, innovation, and outstanding outcomes in cardiac surgery. โค๏ธ
