Why refer to Thoracic Group?

Thoracic Group's proven track record of surgical expertise, experience and patient management allows referring doctors to do so with confidence.

We are led by VATS pioneers Robert J. Caccavale, M.D. and Jean-Philippe Bocage, M.D. who together, have conducted over 5,000 successful procedures since 1990.  Our practice was among the very first in the world to employ this technique and we currently use VATS in over 99 percent of procedures. Thoracic Group continues today as the pre-eminent leader in complex thoracic procedures. It's no wonder that even other Thoracic surgeons look to Thoracic Group for experienced and proven outcomes.

Additionally, it is our consultative approach built on open patient-doctor communication that allows all parties – including the referring doctor – to strive collectively for the same goal: successful surgery and speedy recovery for the patient.

From pre-operative consultations to follow-up visits, referring a patient in need of thoracic surgery to Thoracic Group is a sound decision that will yield significant health benefits.
