Get an Expert Second Opinion Before Heart Surgery

Your incision should be your decision.

AI-powered surgical clarity
for patients facing open heart surgery.

Move forward with confidence -
or step back with certainty.

The truth is - the system is broken.
And too often, we find that our patients come to us:

  • Assigned to a surgeon, without having been given a choice.
  • With an incomplete or unclear understand of surgical risk.
  • No discussion regarding less invasive or alternative options.
  • With more questions than answers, feeling alone, confused, and scared.
