Dr. Berman is particularly interested in thoracic surgical oncology and lung cancer, mediastinal tumors, both benign and malignant, tumors of the chest wall, minimally invasive and video assisted thoracic surgery, tracheal and endobronchial diseases, and esophageal diseases, in addition to endovascular and traditional open vascular surgery and thoracic outlet syndrome.
Here at White Plains hospital, Dr. Berman and his colleagues are able to employ the highest levels of technical expertise in caring for their patients. Dr. Berman and the thoracic and vascular surgical teams are able to employ minimally invasive techniques such as video assisted thoracic surgery and state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques such as the use of EBUS (endobronchial ultrasound) to evaluate both the presence of a benign conditions and the staging of malignant conditions. By combining state-of-the-art thoracic surgical procedures and techniques with outstanding thoracic and vascular surgical support including anesthesia, intensivists, pulmonologists, oncologists, and radiation therapists, the thoracic and vascular surgical specialists are able at White Plains hospital to offer our patients the highest level of surgical care which, we feel, has demonstrated itself to be comparable to the finest institutions in the country.
