The Plano location is one of the 10 largest cardiothoracic surgery programs in the country, and has earned for the past two years the highest national ranking from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) for aortic valve surgery and cardiac bypass surgery. Valentine also serves as president of the new Denton facility.
