Our Cardiothoracic Surgery Clinic staff understand that the decision to have heart or chest surgery is always a big one, and that you want to find the very best surgical care you can. The good news is that the best surgical care is available right here in the Northland. The SMDC Heart & Vascular Center offers the most comprehensive program in the region for all surgeries of the chest cavity, and third largest program in Minnesota. |
Our surgical staff’s expertise and experience matches that of much larger metropolitan centers. They perform more than 400 operations every year using the most advanced procedures and technology. They rigorously keep up with the latest developments in the field and have pioneered a number of minimally invasive heart procedures in the Northland, including robotic surgery, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), and laser surgery.
Our surgeons also offer something less tangible than sheer skill but no less vital to your health: a commitment to putting the needs of their patients first. They work closely with colleagues like our exceptionally skilled interventional cardiologists and support their prevention efforts that can sometimes make surgery not necessary. Working together, our surgeons and cardiologists form an unbeatable team.
