I am excited to announce that the Jeffrey M. Carlton Heart & Vascular Institute at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian just became the newest sponsor of HeartValveSurgery.com.
Led by Anthony Caffarelli, M.D., Director of Hoag Cardiovascular Surgery, and Natesa Pandian, M.D., an internationally recognized cardiologist with valve and echocardiogram expertise, the Nancy & Bill Thompson Heart Valve Center at Hoag utilizes sophisticated technology and a highly trained physician team to accurately diagnosis and treat heart valve conditions.
Dr. Anthony Caffarelli (Heart Surgeon)
With more than 25 years of experience in heart valve surgery, the Nancy & Bill Thompson Heart Valve Center at Hoag provides patients:
- State-of-the-art screening including an early detection program
- Advanced imaging capabilities
