University Heart Surgeons

Matters of the heart require caring and compassion – and the consummate skill of the cardiac specialists at University Heart Surgeons.

UHS recently was recognized for its exceptional service to East Tennessee with its selection as a Solucient Top 100 cardiac practice.

University Heart Surgeons provides the full spectrum of cardiothoracic surgery for adults, and we work closely with the UT Medical Center’s pediatric, infant and children’s heart surgery program. We have added the daVinci robot to our minimally invasive heart surgery program and are the only cardiac center in the area using it to do heart valve repair.

We’re the only Knoxville group that performs surgical repair of congenital heart defects in infants, and we work closely with the UT Cancer Center and the Chest Service at UT in performing surgical procedures on lung and other intrathoracic tumors.

Young or old, in matters of the heart, the choice is clear. University Heart Surgeons.
