St. Luke's cardiothoracic surgeons' core mission is to provide all of our heart and lung patients and their families with the best possible care - through outstanding surgical results as well as comprehensive and compassionate care. In more than 30 years, we have performed over 15,000 major heart and lung surgeries. 

We are leaders in off-pump or "beating-heart" procedures in which cardiothoracic surgeons operate on the beating heart, without putting the patient on a heart/lung machine. No other hospital in the greater St. Louis area performs more beating-heart procedures.

The practice has offices in Chesterfield and Des Peres.
