Since its establishment in January 2007, Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital - Plano has been unwavering in its commitment to quality, making it the cornerstone of all our endeavors, including our vision for the future. This dedication has consistently positioned us at the forefront of clinical excellence and innovation.
In 2016, our relentless focus on quality earned us national recognition once again. For the first time, we secured the No. 18 position in the U.S. News & World Reports ranking for Cardiology & Heart Surgery. Moreover, we were rated as "High Performing" in aortic valve surgery, heart bypass surgery, lung cancer surgery, heart failure, and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
Presently, Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital - Plano stands as the sixth largest cardiac surgery specialty center in the United States in terms of volume, and ranks fifth in the nation for heart valve surgery.
Our approach to comprehensive care, centered around a team-oriented methodology, is most evident in the management of heart valve disease, a diagnosis affecting approximately 5 million Americans annually. We conduct weekly valve clinics at the outpatient Center for Advanced Cardiovascular Care, providing guests with a complete evaluation and treatment plan in a single day.
