In his words
Training, and the people who shaped it
"I trained at prestigious institutions with outstanding surgeons. After medical school at Yale, I matched at Johns Hopkins Hospital for general surgery and stayed for a fellowship in surgical oncology and trauma."
"I then pursued thoracic surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital, one of the first programs to offer specialization in general thoracic surgery. Over 30 years, I've been fortunate to have excellent training and wonderful patients."
We're going to take good care of you.

Continuity is the practice
Many patients arrive after being unable to reach the surgeon who operated on them. This practice is built the other way around. You see the same surgeon at every follow-up, and questions after hours, on weekends, and during holidays get an answer.
Before thoracic surgery, Dr. Roberts worked as a trauma surgeon, which shapes how he handles complex chest injuries and high-risk cases today. He also leads research into cryotherapy nerve blocks for postoperative pain control.
Meet him before you decide.
A consultation is a conversation about your scan, your options, and what recovery actually looks like. No pressure to schedule surgery.
