"I must admit I am shocked by the behavior of this particular doctor. Be very careful if you chose him or are just being sent to him. He has a lot of ego and will have preconceived notions about you before he steps into the room. After my experience with him, I am going say he doesn’t like overweight or obese people. He talked at us not to us, he wouldn’t let my husband or I say anything, he talked above us. I felt like he truly believed I was stupid and didn’t understand I was high risk. I am not stupid, my diabetes alone makes me high risk. He first told me to go home and hope the medications worked (I have 2 blockages at 70% and one at 90%). I need triple bypass. Then he said maybe call my cardiologist and ask to be stented when the cath report said I wasn’t a candidate for stenting. We tried to rectify the situation but again his ego got in the way and I am guessing he was butt hurt because of my attitude and words. Now none of the doctors in his office will talk to me. Closest surgeon is almost 3 hours away. I have had some out there experiences with different doctors in my life but nothing like this. Please rethink this doctor and anyone associated with him. Because of this we have to move. And honestly I really hope karma pays him a visit!!"

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.
