Meet Robert

“I am excited about working with the highly experienced and skilled team members inside and outside the operating room to reduce the invasiveness of conventional cardiac surgery with an emphasis on safety and efficiency,” said Dr. Poston. “Surgical robotics benefits selected patients who need heart surgery by avoiding the need to open the sternal bone in order to repair the heart. That significantly shortens the recovery time and complications.”
