Heart surgery second opinions in Las Vegas.

Expert Heart Team review for Las Vegas area patients. Virtual consultations with 48-hour turnaround.

Las Vegas has made significant strides in cardiac surgery infrastructure over the past decade, but it remains a market without a nationally ranked cardiac surgery program. Sunrise Hospital, University Medical Center, and Valley Health System handle the majority of cardiac cases. UNLV's medical school is building academic capability, but the program is still in its early stages. The metro performs approximately 1,600 cardiac surgical procedures annually. The absence of a major academic cardiac surgery program in Las Vegas creates a notable gap for patients with complex conditions. For routine CABG or single-valve operations, Las Vegas programs deliver solid outcomes, but patients with multi-valve disease, complex aortic pathology, or reoperative cases may benefit from programs at UCLA, Stanford, or the Cleveland Clinic — all requiring significant travel. WhiteGloveMD bridges this expertise gap for Las Vegas patients. Our Heart Team provides the academic-caliber review that the local market lacks, helping patients understand whether their case can be safely managed in Las Vegas or warrants referral to a higher-volume center.
