Quality Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgical Care

We specialize in cardiovascular surgery, including adult and congenital heart surgery. Our robotic heart surgeons are world renowned. Our surgical assistants and perfusionist specialize in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery. Our cardiothoracic organ transplant and mechanical heart team provides extensive care for the most critical heart patients: those who suffer from end-stage heart disease.

Our board-certified cardiothoracic surgeons have the expertise to treat all your non-cancerous (benign) and cancerous (malignant) thoracic conditions. Whether you have been diagnosed with lung cancer, esophageal cancer, or a chest mass, we are here to help.

Robotic and minimally invasive surgery

We take great care in finding and treating unique conditions and prioritizing your recovery. We are the largest robotic thoracic program in the inland northwest and use minimally invasive techniques in 90% of our cases. These surgical techniques typically reduce pain and improve recovery time while causing fewer complications.

Close to Home, Backed by the Best

Best of all, we are close to home and backed by the resources of Providence Heart Institute and Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center. If our specialists determine you need a major surgical procedure, we can treat you at Sacred Heart, which is consistently ranked as the region’s best hospital and receives numerous national awards for cardiac care.

We believe in an ongoing provider-patient relationship that does not disappear when the patient is discharged from the operating room. We take ownership of our patients and follow them throughout the health journey.
