Practice Details
The physician will provide cardiac surgery coverage in a hospital-based setting supported by an Advanced Practice Provider (APP). The cardiac surgery service primarily manages urgent surgical cases, including patients presenting from the cath lab who require operative intervention. Stable cases are generally deferred until weekday coverage resumes. Surgeons will care for adult patients (18+) and can expect an average of 2-4 callback hours per day, including rounding responsibilities.
The practice does not perform TAVR procedures. Patients are typically managed through the ICU and postoperative recovery process prior to discharge home. Backup support from another surgeon is available after consultation when needed.
