I reached a milestone today, my 7,500th surgery. I’m grateful to all the patients and families who continue to trust in me, and thankful for my team, past and present, who work so hard day and night to help save lives.
Nothing can be more important than knowing the experience level of your surgeon. Generally speaking, the more you do something, the better you become! Since entering practice in 1992, I have performed over 7,500 major heart and lung operations and numerous minor bedside procedures.
Below are my most recent charts (as of November 17th, 2020) listing my personal experience and outcomes for all of my major heart and lung procedures.
I update this data every few months in order to keep you informed of my results.
When seeking a surgical opinion it is important to ask your surgeon for his or her results. If your surgeon cannot or will not provide you with his or her results, you should NOT let that surgeon operate upon you or our family. Always ask for a second opinion.
