About Sarah Aftab Ahmad

About The Provider

I am a cardiothoracic surgeon, board-certified by the American Board of General Surgery and Thoracic Surgery. My goal is to develop broad-based learning and skill set in surgical and catheter-based interventions.  Through a comprehensive multidisciplinary team approach, I strive to offer my patients many more open and minimally invasive treatment options for various cardiac and thoracic diseases. My specialty interests are coronary and valvular disease, aneurysms, lung and esophageal cancer.  In my rare free time I enjoy reading, painting, traveling and spending quality family time.
