Catholic Health in Western New York has long been a leader in cardiology, a branch of medicine that deals with the heart and its diseases. Annually, cardiologists at our Buffalo area hospitals treat more than 7,000 patients for cardiac illness.
The Heart Center at Mercy Hospital of Buffalo offers the highest number of minimally invasive cardiac surgery procedures in the region. And it’s the only cardiac program in Western New York using the revolutionary da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System.
When you choose Catholic Health’s cardiology program, you choose the ultimate in peace of mind; we’ve consistently been rated the best in the region (Mercy Hospital Awards).
If you need cardiac care, there’s no need to go outside of the area for the most advanced procedures. Big things are happening just a short distance from home.
While we were on a family vacation, my dad got the news that he would have to undergo open heart surgery. He's in his mid-fifties and in great shape, so it was a shock.
I'm so glad that he decided to have the procedure at Mercy Hospital. Everyone at Mercy was excellent. I really felt that people went out of their way to be kind and to keep us informed at all times.
The nurses were especially attentive to my dad's comfort in the days following the operation.
It has been about four weeks since the surgery, and he looks and feels great. Thank you to everyone at Mercy – not only for the successful surgery and excellent care my dad received, but for making a scary situation easier for me and my family.
