Dr. George is board certified in thoracic (cardiac) surgery. His practice includes all types of open and reoperative adult cardiac surgery, including aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve surgery, aortic aneurysm repair, coronary bypass grafting, and robotic surgery. He specializes in minimally invasive mitral valve repair. He performs 150 to 200 open heart surgeries each year and is the highest-volume heart surgeon in New York State. His annual surgical mortality rate is approximately 1.5%. Dr. George is trained in both cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology. His practice includes transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), transcatheter mitral valve repair (MitraClip), transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve replacement, and surgical TAVR explantation. He performs around 800 transcatheter procedures each year and has performed nearly 8,000 TAVR procedures.
