The Thoracic Surgery Division at St Joseph’s Regional Medical Center is dedicated to the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the chest. We continue to expand treatment options for patients, utilizing minimally-invasive procedures including Video-Assisted Thoracic surgery (VATS) and Robotic- assisted surgery.
Our surgeons provide state-of-the-surgical techniques and cancer therapies with a major focus in early diagnosis, better staging and prediction of recurrent disease in lung and esophageal cancer, supported by the latest research protocols. We also have a lung cancer screening program for high-risk surgical patients. Our multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of lung cancer, esophageal cancer and other diseases of the chest creates a team approach to patient care and streamlines the patient experience and ensures quality outcomes for all types of thoracic disease.
Our Thoracic surgeons treat the following conditions:
St. Joseph’s University Medical Center has a long history of successful cardiothoracic surgery both in Adult and Pediatric patients. Given our long rich cardiac history, St. Joseph’s has prided itself in performing the newest minimally invasive cardiac procedures.
When medication and catheter-based treatments cannot relieve symptoms, surgery remains the accepted treatment for a range of cardiothoracic conditions, including but not limited to mitral valve prolapsed, atrial septal defect and coronary artery disease.
Less invasive procedures are increasingly available for patients facing cardiothoracic surgery. St. Joseph’s Health embraces state-of-the-art minimally invasive approaches with small keyhole incisions made between the ribs to perform coronary bypass or make repairs to the heart valve and other cardiac conditions. These procedures avoid all the other complications of standard open surgery.
St. Joseph’s Health has also made significant advances in the field of robotic surgery utilizing da Vinci Surgical Systems. Among the benefits of da Vinci cardiothoracic surgery are a reduced risk of infection, less blood loss and need for blood transfusions, shorter hospital stay, less pain and scarring, faster recovery and a quicker return to normal activities. Additionally, surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System offers the potential for a better clinical outcome.
St. Joseph’s multidisciplinary-team approach cardiac surgery program has some of the best outcomes in the tri-state area with emphasis on low complications well below the national average, blood conservation and high patient-family satisfaction.

Asgarian, DO, Chief, Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, along with Chirag D. Badami, MD, Cardiothoracic Surgeon, have extensive clinical and academic experience and provides an integrative surgical approach to diseases of the heart and thoracic cavity. Drs.
