When it comes to issues of your heart, putting your trust in a doctor can be scary. Surgeries can be complex, especially when involved with one of the most vital parts of the body. However, it is important that you seek treatment. Minor issues can soon become major ones if not treated quickly and effectively.

Minimally Invasive Surgeries

In addition to the above, our surgeons strive to provide minimally invasive procedures whenever possible. This cuts down on surgery and recovery time, and can help reduce the occurrence of complications. Whether you need mitral valve, aortic valve repair or replacement, or aneurysm, thoracic, mediastinal, or esophageal surgeries, a minimally invasive procedure may be the best way to treat your condition.

Consultations & Follow-ups

We provide consultations during office hours at our conveniently located Los Angeles office or affiliated medical centers. Appointments are held Monday through Friday from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm. During these consults, our surgeons can explain your health issues and lay out the best course of treatment.

After your surgery, follow up appointments with the surgeon are necessary. These occur within one to two weeks after you have been discharged from the hospital. During this time we work to ensure that your surgery went smoothly and there are no unnecessary complications. Healing is an important step in the recovery process and these check-up can help ensure that you are on the road to successful recovery.
