Expert Heart Team review for Portland area patients. Virtual consultations with 48-hour turnaround.
Portland's cardiac surgery landscape is anchored by Oregon Health & Science University's (OHSU) Knight Cardiovascular Institute, which serves as the primary academic cardiac surgery center for Oregon and southern Washington. Providence Heart and Vascular Institute and Legacy Emanuel add community cardiac surgery volume. The metro performs approximately 1,800 cardiac surgical procedures annually. Like Seattle, Portland serves as a regional cardiac surgery hub for a geographically vast and sparsely populated area. Patients from rural Oregon, southern Washington, and parts of Idaho travel to Portland for complex cardiac care. OHSU's Knight Cardiovascular Institute handles the majority of complex cases, including heart transplantation and aortic reconstruction, but the concentration of expertise in a single academic program means limited local alternatives for second opinions. WhiteGloveMD provides Portland and Pacific Northwest patients with an independent expert review that doesn't require traveling to Seattle or San Francisco. Our Heart Team evaluates OHSU and Providence recommendations against national benchmarks, ensuring patients receive the most current evidence-based guidance.
Portland patients benefit from our ability to provide an independent perspective in a market with limited local alternatives. Our Heart Team delivers the expert second opinion that would otherwise require travel to Seattle, Stanford, or beyond.
