Welcome to Everett Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgical Associates, PS

Established in 1986, Everett Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgical Associates (ECTSA) performs a variety of thoracic, cardiovascular and esophageal surgical procedures. The practice specializes in aortic, complex cardiac, minimally invasive cardiac, thoracic and thoracoscopic surgery. Our board-certified thoracic and cardiovascular surgeons have the training and experience necessary to diagnose and surgically treat patients with heart disease, as well as diseases of the lungs and esophagus.

Our practice is located in the Medical Office Building, next to Providence Regional Medical Center-Everett, Colby Campus. This location provides door-to-door access to diagnostic technology, surgical suites, cardiac intensive care unit, and patient rooms. It enables us to respond immediately to urgent calls and provide 24-hour access to post-surgical patients. Our convenient location also accommodates consults with referring physicians.

Everett Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgical Associates have introduced some of the most advanced surgical techniques to the community. Our practice reviews its outcomes on an ongoing basis in a continued effort to provide the highest standard of care and quality outcomes for patients.
