Dr. Chan has two offices in Texas where he specializes in Thoracic Surgery and Transplant Surgery.
Following rigorous and lengthy training, thoracic surgeons are uniquely qualified to perform complex surgeries on the chest, or thorax as it is sometimes called. Their focus is usually on the lungs, esophagus, and other areas of the chest, and may also include the heart. As such, Dr. Chan may see patients in Texas for a wide range of surgeries, for example removing cancer causing tumors from the esophagus and chest wall, or even a lung transplant.
Transplant surgeons perform highly complex surgeries to transplant organs from a donor's body into that of the receiving patient. Surgeries are typically to replace a damaged or malfunctioning organ, such as the liver, kidneys and heart, among others. Dr. Chan may specialize in performing a certain type of transplant surgery.
