What We Do
Cardiac procedures we perform
From coronary bypass to catheter-based valve replacement, every recommendation starts with a full review of your imaging and history.
Valve Repair & Replacement
Surgical treatment for leaking or narrowed aortic and mitral valves, with repair preferred whenever possible.
Discuss valve surgery →TAVR
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a new valve delivered through a catheter, without opening the chest.
Ask about TAVR →Aortic Aneurysm Surgery
Open and endovascular repair of aneurysms of the ascending, arch, and descending aorta, sized and timed to guidelines.
Discuss aortic care →AFib (Maze) Surgery
Surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation, often performed alongside valve or bypass surgery to restore rhythm.
Ask about Maze →Minimally Invasive & Robotic
Smaller incisions, less time on the heart-lung machine where appropriate, and a faster return to normal life.

Conditions We Treat
When your cardiologist says it's time to talk to a surgeon
Many heart conditions are managed with medication and stents for years. When disease progresses beyond that, a surgical evaluation tells you exactly what your options are — and a second opinion is always reasonable.
- Coronary artery diseaseBlockages causing angina or heart attack risk
- Aortic stenosis & regurgitationNarrowed or leaking aortic valve
- Mitral valve diseaseProlapse, regurgitation, and stenosis
- Aortic aneurysm & dissection riskEnlargement of the body's main artery
- Atrial fibrillationWhen rhythm control needs a surgical option

Common Questions
Cardiac surgery, answered plainly
What conditions does a cardiac surgeon treat?
Cardiac surgeons treat conditions that may require an operation on the heart or major blood vessels — blocked coronary arteries, diseased or leaking heart valves, aortic aneurysms, and certain rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation.
Do I need a referral to see a cardiac surgeon in Florida?
Most patients are referred by a cardiologist or primary care physician, but you can also contact us directly to ask about a consultation. Bring recent test results, such as an echocardiogram or catheterization report, to your first visit.
How long is recovery after open heart surgery?
Most patients spend several days in the hospital and continue recovering at home over the following six to twelve weeks, often with a supervised cardiac rehabilitation program. Your surgical team will give you a plan specific to your operation and overall health.
What is the difference between TAVR and open valve surgery?
TAVR delivers a new aortic valve through a catheter, usually inserted in the leg, without opening the chest. Open surgery repairs or replaces the valve directly. The right option depends on your valve condition, anatomy, and overall health, and is decided through a heart team evaluation.
Is minimally invasive heart surgery an option for everyone?
Not every patient or condition is suited to minimally invasive techniques, but many valve and bypass procedures can now be performed through smaller incisions with shorter recovery times. A consultation with imaging review is the only way to know which approach fits your case.
Does insurance cover cardiac surgery?
Medically necessary cardiac surgery is generally covered by Medicare and most major insurance plans. Coverage details vary, so our team verifies your benefits and explains any expected costs before scheduling surgery.
