The first doctor patients with cardiac problems visit is a cardiologist. Cardiologists examine the patients taking many criteria into account: test results, patient’s complaints, life quality, age, etc. after a thorough examination, they may end up concluding that the best treatment method is surgery. When surgery seems to be the best option, they refer the patient to a surgeon. At this point, the patient gets the first appointment from a cardiovascular surgeon.  Prof. Mustafa Guden is one of the surgeons you may go see at this point.
