As a Doctor, I can say with utmost confidence that you will simply not find a cardiothoracic surgeon with the same depth and breadth of knowledge as Dr. Marco Scarci. He is the most brilliant and compassionate cardiothoracic surgeon I have encountered. I am traveling to him from the United States despite the fact that I am affiliated with Johns Hopkins and my husband is a pulmonary & critical care physician at Brown. He deserves to be in the surgical hall of fame!
