Khaled F. Salhab, MD

I don’t know whether it was my unique experiences growing up or the desire to help others in need, but I always knew I was going to become a doctor. However, it wasn’t until my early years of training that I became fascinated with the heart. The ability to arrest a human organ and then watch it come back to life, along with the intricate surgical skill and intelligence required to do so, led me to pursue cardiothoracic surgery.

As an adult cardiac surgeon, I treat patients with a wide variety of heart illnesses that range from coronary artery disease to diseases of the aorta and heart valves.

I perform operations that range from standard open-heart surgery to endovascular and minimally invasive transcatheter treatments. I work with highly skilled physicians, interventional cardiologists, and anesthesiologists on a daily basis. This has allowed me to tackle complex valve conditions with outstanding patient outcomes.

I believe that each patient requires a unique and personalized approach. I meet with all my patients, listen to each concern, and come up with a treatment plan with them. I believe that this tailored style reduces patient anxiety and offers a more complete approach toward better treatment.

In order to provide the best for my patients, I participate in several national transcatheter valve therapy trials that have revolutionized and transformed my approach to cardiac surgery and the way I treat patients with cardiac disease.
