Cardiac Surgery

200 S Enota Drive NE, Gainesville, GA 30501

Dr. Robert Thompson is a cardiac surgery specialist in Gainesville, GA. He graduated from the University of Mississippi School of Medicine.

"Dr. Thompson performed a quadruple by pass on me. It became infected almost immediately. He placed a hole in my chest to drain the infection and sent me home. He readmitted me in November and placed two more holes in my chest and once again sent me home. Several weeks later he determined the infection was so severe that I required reconstructive surgery. His group said they would have it scheduled in 2-3 days. Instead, their group had a receptionist call and tell me I had to pay cash or go to the Veterans. That was the last I heard from their very unprofessional group. I would not let Dr. Kyle Thompson work on my dog. "

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.
