Dr. Robert Smith II
Hello! My name is Dr. Robert Smith II and I am a cardiac surgeon having graduated from University of Texas Health Science Center in 2000. To date, I have performed approximately 2,200 cardiac surgeries, of which 1,356 involved heart valve procedures. I regularly perform surgery at hospitals including Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital - Plano, Medical Center of Plano , and Medical City Dallas.
I believe my greatest strength is taking care of patients with heart valve disease. I enjoy treating patients with these problems because they have so much to gain by fixing their structural issues.
In doing this, I believe my greatest strength as a surgeon is that I spend time with patients to develop a patient-centered plan of care.
I have worked hard to develop several approaches to different valve and structural heart diseases to suit different scenarios. Therefore, I am able to provide many minimally invasive options to treat patients including robotic and port access approaches to fixing mitral valve and tricuspid valve disorders, while still utilizing traditional sternotomy when necessary. The result is a plan designed to optimize a good clinical outcome while working to minimize morbidity.
My heart surgery specialties include
- Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair
- Tricuspid Valve Repair
- Aortic Valve Replacement
In addition, I have research and clinical interests specific to
- Pathobiology of mitral valve prolapsed disease
- Blood Conservation
- Atrial Fibrillation associated with mitral valve disease
