Dr. Kenneth McCurry

Hello! My name is Dr. Kenneth McCurry and I am a cardiac surgeon having graduated from University of Florida College of Medicine in 1987. To date, I have performed approximately 229 (average 229/year; through 2009 since at Cleveland Clinic) cardiac surgeries, of which 133 (average 133/year; through 2009 since at Cleveland Clinic) involved heart valve procedures. I regularly perform surgery at hospitals including Cleveland Clinic.

My cardiac specialties include:

• Mitral Valve Repair
• Aortic Valve Surgery
• Triscupid Valve Repair

Relative to heart valve therapy, I have the following clinical interests:

• Outcomes Following Aortic or Mitral Valve Surgery and High Risk Mitral Valve Surgery
• Mitral Valve Surgery in Heart Failure, Transplantation Tolerance
• Lung and Heart Ischemia Reperfusion Injury

"I believe my greatest strength as a heart surgeon is significant experience with a broad array of cardiothoracic surgical procedures leading to familiarity in different clinical situations."

I graduated from University of Florida College of Medicine in 1987.

"Dr. Kenneth McCurry was very kind and pleasant. He made me feel very at ease with the whole process. I am very happy with the results of my valve repairs and am feeling very good."

"Dr McCurry's specialty is lung and heart lung transplatation. He is very professional...quiet a good listener. He thoroughly involved me in pre-operative planning. He is a quality human being and a superb surgeon! Credit should also go to my cardiologist at Cleveland Clinic, Dr William Stewart who got me in shape for the surgery with diet and weight loss. It made the surgery a breeze. It is important that we do not ignore the significance of a great cardiologist as well."

I have relationships with several insurance providers including:
