My Primary Care Provider (PCP) referred me to Duke . There are several Cardiothoracic Specialist at Duke. Chad Hughes, MD. is who I see. Just be certain that you have your attending doctor ( your PCP or Cardiologist) make the referral. Duke needs to have documentation of why you are seeking an evaluation with a Cardiothoracic Specialist. I have been going to Duke for the past 3 years. This will be my 4th annual visit there.

Actually, when I was researching Cardiothoracic specialists at Duke, Chad Hughes is the name that came up as a very good doctor. I just might try to see him. I have a 4.2 (or is it .3?) TAA and am scheduled for another echocardiogram and CT scan in July. I also have an appointment with a new cardiologist in August because my old one retired. I very much appreciate your input on this.
