What to expect before, during & after surgery.

Before Surgery

Your evaluation may include CT scans, echocardiograms, EKGs, stress testing, and cardiac catheterization to help your care team design a personalized surgical plan.

During Surgery

Your surgeon will choose the safest, most effective approach — open-heart, minimally invasive, or catheter-based — depending on your condition and goals.

After Surgery

Recovery begins in our specialized cardiac care unit with ongoing monitoring, education, and rehabilitation, all designed to strengthen your heart and lungs and support long-term healing.

Compassionate, whole-person support.

We understand that facing heart or lung surgery can feel overwhelming. You can count on compassion, clear communication, and steady guidance from a team committed to helping you and your family feel supported and informed from diagnosis to recovery.
