Conditions we consult on
If you’ve received a life-altering diagnosis and you have questions about what to do next, consider a second opinion consultation.

Our surgical team delivers expert heart care for conditions that affect the mitral, aortic or tricuspid valve. Patients with leaky mitral valves or aortic valve stenosis treated through robot-assisted valve surgery experience an easier and quicker recovery when compared to conventional open-heart surgery.
The most common type of heart disease, coronary artery disease, can now be treated with a robot-assisted, off-pump bypass instead of through traditional open-heart surgery. This means less pain and faster recovery.

When heart surgery is needed to correct a heart rhythm issue, we can help. We offer robotic pacemaker/ICD placements and robotic Maze, offering long-term improvement for patients with arrhythmias, with less pain, scarring and faster recovery times.
We provide robotic surgery for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy through minimally invasive septal myectomy.
Our heart surgeons have unique and nationally leading expertise in robotic myocardial unroofing surgery.
When removing a tumor in the heart, robot-assisted tumor removals or resections mean that you can spend less time in the hospital and more time returning to the activities you love.
“I read that Dr. Guy was one of the best robotic heart surgeons in the country. It made the most sense for us to make the trip back down from Minnesota, and it was definitely worth it. Just two days after the surgery, I was leaving the hospital and feeling great. I can’t believe what the team was able to do through these tiny incisions. I remember when my brother had open heart surgery, and this is a totally different experience.”
