Overview
overview
- Ahmad Zeeshan, MD, FACS, is a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon and has expertise in performing an array of procedures, including heart and lung transplantation, aortic surgery, minimally invasive heart valve surgery, mitral valve procedures, aortic valve surgery and bloodless cardiac surgery. After medical school, Dr. Zeeshan trained in general surgery at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Maryland. He then completed a fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery at Yale University. He went on to receive specialized training in aortic surgery, including endovascular techniques, heart and lung transplantation, and mechanical circulatory support surgery at Cleveland Clinic Ohio. Prior to joining AdventHealth, Dr. Zeeshan held a joint clinical appointment at Cleveland Clinic Ohio and Florida as part of the cardiovascular surgery team. Dr. Zeeshan believes in providing the best approach for every patient based on their specific needs and conditions for optimal results — using the latest minimally invasive approaches for a lower risk of complications and a faster, more comfortable recovery.
