The Valvular Disease Clinic, part of the Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin’s Heart and Vascular Center, offers highly specialized care for valve disease. We are a multidisciplinary clinic, with cardiologists; cardiac surgeons; cardiac anesthesiologists, imaging experts and more working together in one location to give our patients the best possible care. There’s no other clinic like it in Wisconsin. We’re completely patient-focused and dedicated to diagnosing, treating and managing the complete range of valvular disease.
Our specialists can expertly diagnose your valvular condition or offer a second opinion if you have questions or concerns about your current diagnosis and treatment options.
While each patient is unique, in certain cases, a heart valve can be repaired rather than replaced, which can lead to better outcomes. |
| The team at the Valvular Disease Clinic will ensure you know about all the options open to you and will help you make an informed choice about your treatment.
Collaborative, Multidisciplinary Care
Being treated at the Valvular Disease Clinic means you become part of the Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin healthcare system with access to all of the resources, technology and experts we offer, all on one campus. In addition to our highly skilled Valvular Disease team, we have specialists in virtually every area of health care who can step in as needed – from interventional cardiologists to infectious disease specialists to neurologists and more.
Together, Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin form one of the top academic medical centers in the country and we deliver unmatched, superior health care combined with sincere, caring and passionate attention.
Second OpinionsMany people come to us seeking a second opinion because they want to know more about valve disease, their diagnosis and treatment options. We believe strongly in patient education, and we take the time to help our patients understand their condition and the choices they have when it comes to managing and treating their disease.
Our physicians read the diagnostic images firsthand and have the expertise to interpret the images more accurately for a more specific diagnosis. An accurate diagnosis is the first step toward determining the best way to treat your valve disease.
