Expert Heart Team review for Milwaukee area patients. Virtual consultations with 48-hour turnaround.
Milwaukee's cardiac surgery infrastructure is led by Froedtert Hospital in partnership with the Medical College of Wisconsin, which operates one of the Midwest's strongest academic cardiac surgery programs. Aurora St. Luke's Medical Center is one of the highest-volume cardiac surgery centers in Wisconsin, performing well over 1,000 cardiac procedures annually. The metro performs approximately 2,400 cardiac procedures across all programs. Milwaukee patients have strong local options, but they also face the proximity question — Mayo Clinic is 5 hours northwest, and Cleveland Clinic is 7 hours east. For most cardiac surgery cases, Milwaukee programs deliver excellent outcomes that rival national benchmarks. However, for rare conditions such as complex congenital heart disease in adults or advanced aortic root reconstruction, higher-volume national centers may offer an advantage. WhiteGloveMD helps Milwaukee patients make data-driven decisions about local versus national care. Our Heart Team evaluates each case against procedure-specific outcomes from Froedtert, Aurora, and top national programs, providing clear guidance on whether local care is appropriate or whether a trip to Mayo or Cleveland is warranted.
Milwaukee patients gain clarity from our procedure-specific benchmarking. Our Heart Team provides the data-driven analysis to determine whether local programs at Froedtert or Aurora are the right fit or whether the complexity warrants a national referral.
