The team of senior, board-certified cardiac surgeons at Frankford Hospital - Torresdale has established a reputation that is second to none in the Delaware Valley. The facility provides state-of-the-art, exclusive cardiac operating suites and intensive care beds supported by the necessary trained and experienced nursing staff.

To date, this group has performed over 1000 open-heart procedures. With the support and encouragement of their cardiology associates, the surgeons, who have pioneered off-pump, beating heart surgery, have one of the most innovative practices in the Northeast region of the country. Both Medtronic, Inc., and St. Jude Medical, Inc., have selected these surgeons, over and above all other surgeons in the region, to serve as teachers to educate their surgical colleagues.

In addition to expertise in off-pump, beating heart surgery, they perform all other aspects of open heart including valve repair/replacement, minimally invasive surgery and aortic reconstruction.
