Trusted Cardiologists and Cardiac Surgeons
Patients come from all over the world to NewYork-Presbyterian for renowned expertise in heart surgery. Our physicians are pioneers in valve replacement, leaders in congenital heart disease and obstetric cardiology, as well as experts in cardiac care for athletes.
As pioneers in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), NewYork-Presbyterian has helped to make TAVR a routine treatment and open-heart surgery a thing of the past for aortic stenosis. For patients with congenital heart disease, NewYork-Presbyterian is a leader in the field with one of the oldest and most robust programs in the country. Our cardiac surgery program also places special emphasis on athletes, helping to manage cardiac conditions that could predispose an athlete to an exercise-induced cardiac emergency. Finally, through our women’s health program, cardiac surgeons collaborate with maternal-fetal medicine specialists to address cardiac issues that can arise during the pregnancy or post-partum period such as heart failure, valve disorders, and hypertension.

Our Approach to Care
Personalized heart surgery care
We believe it’s crucial to diagnose, manage, and treat heart disease early. Our compassionate team provides personalized care every step of the way—partnering closely with you and your family with the end goal of helping you spend less time in the hospital and more time living life.
During a consultative evaluation, which is often completed in a single day, our cardiac surgeons and cardiologists collaborate with you to determine the best course of treatment. Some patients don't need a procedure right away, but may need regular monitoring, medication, and lifestyle changes. Others may need a minimally invasive procedure or open-heart surgery.
Consultations are available at our hospitals as well as offsite outpatient practices that may be closer to your home. You may even be able to have your evaluation or get a second opinion remotely, through our telehealth platform.
