Thoracic Surgery

UT Southwestern Medical Center’s Thoracic Surgery team at RedBird delivers comprehensive care to patients with diseases of the chest (thorax) and upper gastrointestinal system (esophagus and stomach), as well as treatment of benign conditions of the chest.

Located conveniently for residents in Southwest Dallas County, we’re dedicated to providing every patient with the highest level of care.

Our general thoracic surgeons and thoracic surgical oncologists are experts in the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of thoracic conditions, offering the latest in minimally invasive procedures such as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted technology.

Our team is also committed to research and offers clinical trials that give eligible patients access to the newest, most promising therapies for thoracic diseases.
