Expert Heart Team review for Charlotte area patients. Virtual consultations with 48-hour turnaround.
Charlotte's cardiac surgery landscape is dominated by Atrium Health's Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute, one of the Southeast's largest and most established cardiac surgery programs. Sanger performs over 1,500 cardiac surgical cases annually, with particular expertise in valve repair, complex coronary revascularization, and aortic surgery. Novant Health provides additional surgical volume, and the metro performs approximately 2,400 cardiac procedures annually across all programs. The dominance of Atrium Health in the Charlotte market means most cardiac patients are referred within the same system. While Sanger is an excellent program, the lack of a competing academic medical center in Charlotte means patients have fewer local options for a meaningful second opinion from an independent surgical team. The nearest alternative high-volume programs are Duke University Medical Center and UNC Medical Center in the Research Triangle, each about 2.5 hours away. WhiteGloveMD fills this independence gap for Charlotte patients. Our Heart Team provides the kind of rigorous, multi-specialist review that would otherwise require traveling to Durham or Chapel Hill, delivered virtually within days of record submission.
Charlotte patients benefit enormously from our independence. In a market dominated by a single health system, our Heart Team provides the kind of unbiased second opinion that would otherwise require a trip to the Research Triangle or beyond.
