Your Cardiovascular Disease Treatment - Best Hospitals And Best Surgeon Research
I’m not sure about you…
But, as I prepared for my heart valve surgery, one of the many critical questions I wanted to answer was, “Which are the best heart care facilities?” and “Who are the best heart valve surgeons?”
I did ALOT of research on the topic of cardiovascular disease treatment - best hospitals and surgeons. (So you know, I consider heart valve disease in the realm of cardiovascular disorders although others may consider the term isolate to arteries and veins.)
That said, a lot of my research ended up in my book. However, I have also placed a number of cardiothoracic surgeon profiles in this blog and within my website. I have posted profiles for each of the following heart surgeons here - Vaughn Starnes (Los Angeles), Paul Stelzer (New York City), Eric Roselli (Cleveland), Gosta Pettersson (Cleveland), Kevin Accola (Florida) and more.
Specific to the best hospitals for cardiovascular disease treatment, here is a link from US News And World Report that has some interesting information about the best hospitals for cardiac care in the United States. They list the top five heart specialty hospitals as:
- The Cleveland Clinic (Ohio)
- Mayo Clinic (Minnesota)
- Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Massachusetts)
- John Hopkins Hospital (Maryland)
- Massachusetts General Hospital (Massachusetts)
If you have any doctors or hospitals you would like me to profile in this blog, please let me know. You can email me or leave a reply below.
I hope this helps you know a little bit more on the topic of cardiovascular disease treatment - best surgeons and hospitals.
Keep on tickin!

Dear Adam,
I was wondering if you have any information about the surgeon who will be doing my mitral valve replacement in a couple of weeks? His name is Dr. S. Karwande, in Salt Lake City, and Orem, Utah. I googled him and found some information but nothing about heart valve replacements. The surgery will be taking place in the Timpanogos Regional Hospital, in Orem, Utah around the 5th of Feb. I meet with him on Friday, Feb 1st.
Thank you. You have a great website, and I have been impressed with it’s content.
Sincerely,
Bill Mikkelsen, Orem, Utah

Hi Adam,
How about profiles on Craig Miller and Vincent Gaudiani? This will take care of Northern Califoirnia folks
and both are quite reputable.
Best regards,
Itzik

Can you please give me the names of any surgeons in the Salt Lake or Denver region who do Heart Valve replacement surgeries. I am looking for a doctor who has a good reputation and is extremely experienced with this surgery.

Hi Adam and all - my double bypass and aortic valve replacement was on 4/14/08 at the Beth Isreal Deaconess Hospital in Boston, MA and I can’t say enough about my care. It was fantastic! I’m diabetic so my recovery is a little slower than normal but I’m still plugging along. I wish I had discovered this web site sooner - it has answered many questions, though.
Keep up the good work and good luck to everyone!
