Thanks for your warm welcome and helpful reply @amandaburnett! Glad to be here!

I'm glad to learn that The Cardiovascular division and Cardio-thoracic surgery have always been available.

After a recent stress echocardiogram, an early glimpse of the result summary shows I was given a differential diagnosis that included a small VSD in the muscular region of the septum.

I'm scheduled to meet with my cardiologist on Nov 30, but I've read that surgery may be an appropriate treatment. If I'm gonna have heart surgery, I would want it done at The Mayo Clinic Florida, so I'm doing some early contingency planning.

Do you know approximately what the wait times are like for such surgeries there?

Thanks again for your warm welcome!

@fordsubmariner Hi Kevin,
Unfortunately, it is all tailored around the needs of the specific patient and the availability of the surgeons. Your cardiologist would need to refer you to a surgeon and then they will be able to start the process and move forward.

It might be advantageous for you to call the central appointment office and set up an account and get your patient MRN number which identifies you in the system and have them run your insurance to make sure you are in network. That way, when your physician calls or faxes a referral, they already have all of your information.
Central Appointment Office. 904-953-0853
