Cardiothoracic surgeons care for your heart (cardiac), chest and lungs (thoracic). Our board-certified surgeons consistently meet or exceed national standards of excellence, so you can trust you'll receive the best care. In fact, our hospitals in Tacoma and Bremerton have each earned national 3-Star ratings awarded by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons for surgical quality and outcomes.
Our board-certified thoracic surgeons are nationally renowned for their work with a wide range of conditions, including lung and esophageal cancer. We perform complex lung and chest procedures every day, including video-assisted thorascopic surgery (VATS), a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat chest problems.
