"To be a cardiac surgeon and have the opportunity to operate on patients with potentially life threatening heart disease carries great responsibility. It also brings tremendous professional satisfaction to see patients recuperate fully from their surgery and return to living their lives in an active, vigorous fashion.
Patient outcomes are how we judge our work and the hallmark of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University has always been the outstanding results as documented by the NYS Department of Health statistics.
To provide this premier level of care requires an integrated team approach by all individuals involved with patients. Top notch cardiologists, anesthesiologists, nurses, and allied health professionals work collaboratively with the surgeons with a level of skill, commitment and integrity that distinguishes Weill Medical College of Cornell University from other institutions.
This is what excites me in going to work each day and why I'm proud to be a member of such an excellent team."
