New & Established Patients Call
I believe in a team approach to patient care where the patient is at the center of the discussion of the multi-disciplinary team. The decision to treat and how to treat should be the outcome of the team discussion when the best option with the best outcomes is being offered to the patient. Transplantation and the management of aortic disease is the perfect example of a teamwork approach when surgeons and physicians as well as support services work together in support of the patients and their families.
