Welcome to
the Advanced Cardiothoracic Surgery Medical Group web site, home to
the most dynamic Cardiovascular and Thoracic surgery group in the greater
Los Angeles area. Our goal is to provide our patients with the full
spectrum of cardiovascular and thoracic surgical services. We feel we
can best provide the optimal treatment and therapy tailored to our individual
patient's needs, be it coronary bypass grafting (CABG), minimally invasive
valve repair or replacement, thoracoscopic lung resection, or cardiac
transplantation.
Our mission
is to provide the highest quality surgical services while caring for
the patient as a whole person with emotional and spiritual as well as
physical needs.We value honesty, integrity, trust, and kindness. These
values guide our actions with our patients and their families. We believe
our patients and their families are people whose well-being depends
on compassionate care that addresses their physical and emotional needs.
We perform
over 400 heart operations each year along with an additional 500 non-cardiac
cases. Our team approach to patient care allows us to maintain an exceptionally
high level of care that ensures the best possible results for our patients.
Our outcomes are better than any group in the area and we strive to
maintain and improve our results, constantly striving for the best possible
care for our patients.
We are available
24 hours a day/ 7 days a week/ 365 days a year to provide full and comprehensive
cardiothoracic services. If you are outside the immediate Los Angeles
area and need urgent care, we can help arrange a transfer to one of
our hospitals for further evaluation and treatment.
