Expert Heart Team review for Baltimore area patients. Virtual consultations with 48-hour turnaround.
Baltimore is home to two of the nation's most prestigious cardiac surgery programs: Johns Hopkins Hospital and the University of Maryland Medical Center. Johns Hopkins has a long history of cardiac surgical innovation, while Maryland's program is a national leader in trauma-related cardiac surgery and heart transplantation. MedStar Union Memorial adds significant community cardiac surgery volume. The metro performs approximately 3,200 cardiac procedures annually. The concentration of two elite programs within blocks of each other creates both opportunity and complexity for patients. Hopkins and Maryland may recommend different approaches to the same condition — not because either is wrong, but because their institutional expertise and research focus differ. A patient with complex valve disease may be offered a repair at one institution and a replacement at another, and without independent guidance, choosing between these recommendations is daunting. WhiteGloveMD provides Baltimore patients with the independent arbitration they need when faced with differing recommendations from two excellent institutions. Our Heart Team evaluates both plans against current evidence and national outcomes, providing a clear explanation of which approach is best supported for the individual patient's anatomy and clinical profile.
Baltimore patients benefit from our ability to independently evaluate differing recommendations from Hopkins and Maryland. Our Heart Team provides the unbiased analysis that helps patients choose between two excellent but different surgical plans.
