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.”

	December 2023 Dr Poston was amazing. He treated my concern as very valid. Explained treatment options in laymen's terms so they were easily understood. Very patient with all my questions. I felt like he was truly vested in the care I need. Even gave me his card with his cell # should an emergency arise. I felt very comfortable and at ease with him.
