Thoracic Surgery
Thoracic surgeons are committed to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases in the chest cavity. They perform surgery on the lungs, esophagus and other organs and tissues in the chest.
Dr. Jeffrey Spillane is a skilled thoracic surgeon with advanced training and surgical expertise in this dedicated field. Dr. Spillane collaborates with specialists from other disciplines to ensure your care is tailored to your specific needs, including experts from interventional pulmonology, interventional radiology and oncology. When a suspicious nodule or mass is identified through screening, these findings are reviewed as part of our Lung Nodule Program, helping to expedite additional diagnostic and treatment recommendations.
