Our cardiologists

Cardiologists specialize in helping you manage your heart health, including heart rhythm issues, cholesterol management, heart valve problems and other conditions.

Our cardiothoracic surgeons

Cardiothoracic surgeons care for your:

• Heart (cardiac)
• Chest and lungs (thoracic)

Our board-certified heart surgeons consistently meet or exceed national standards of excellence, so you can trust you’ll receive the best care. In fact, our heart surgeons in Tacoma and Bremerton have each earned a national 3-Star rating awarded by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons for surgical quality and outcomes, most recently for aortic valve replacement, as well as for coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Our board-certified thoracic surgeons are nationally renowned for their work with a wide range of conditions, including lung and esophageal cancer. We perform complex lung and chest procedures every day, including video-assisted thorascopic surgery (VATS), a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat chest problems.

Our vascular surgeons

Our teams of vascular surgeons, who specialize in blood vessel conditions, offer a broad range of treatments through open surgery and catheter-based interventions.
