I was graduated from Auburn University and University of Alabama School of Law and worked for State Farm Insurance in claims/management for over 3 decades and I can honestly state that I never met any doctor as remarkable as Dr. Tan. I was treated at the famous Kirklin Clinic and The Heart Center in Huntsville AL and recently moved near Winston Salem, NC..I was blessed to get Dr. William Tan as my cardiologist. He is the most talented,engaging and caring doctor I have ever met. He makes time to truly understand you and what makes your heart tick.

What is Cardiothoracic Surgery?

Cardiothoracic surgery is the medical specialty that provides surgical care for the chest. Most often this means heart or lung surgery, but it can also include surgery on the esophagus, breastbone, or chest wall. Some cardiothoracic surgeons may specialize in the surgical treatment of children, or focus on a specific organ or surgical procedure.

Some of the diseases and procedures that a cardiothoracic surgeon might handle include:

Coronary artery disease
Heart valve surgery
Lung cancer
Cancer of the esophagus
GERD, or severe acid reflux
Heart or lung transplants

Cardiothoracic surgeons may use various types of imaging, such as an electrocardiogram or CT scan, to diagnose problems and plan the operation. They may also offer minimally invasive surgery or robotic surgery, if appropriate, to lower the risk of scarring and infection.

Cardiothoracic surgery is an older medical specialty, but it is still one of the most amazing. Often patients who need a cardiothoracic surgeon are extremely sick, suffering from an illness that will kill them without intervention. With surgery, however, they often make a complete recovery.
