Our Approach
Navigating a heart or lung diagnosis can be overwhelming – and it’s completely normal to feel unsure of your next step. At Kadlec Clinic – Cardiothoracic Surgery, our care team is here to guide you with expertise.
Our board-certified surgeons treat a wide range of conditions using advanced diagnostic and surgical techniques.

We know this isn’t just about treatment – it’s about your life, your goals and the people who matter most to you. That’s why we take the time to listen, answer questions and make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
To schedule with our Cardiothoracic Surgery team, please ask for a referral from your current health care provider.
