Cardiac Surgeon

Overview

Lee Health Heart Institute is actively searching for a Cardiac Surgeon to join our busy and growing comprehensive cardiac program.

Program and Focus

Our current program consists of three full-time cardiac surgeons. As a complement to our Advanced Heart Failure program, we are seeking an experienced cardiac surgeon who has current competency in mechanical circulatory support device implants. This surgeon will join our team in performing foundational cardiac surgery including CABG, open valve repair / replacement as well as dissections. However, the niche skill of device implants is critical in taking our program to the next level.
