Dr. Palatt is a member of our group since 1988. He is board certified in General and Cardiothoracic Surgery. He completed his general surgical residency at Maimonides Medical Center and his cardiothoracic surgery fellowship at the State University of New York Health Science Center at Brooklyn. He specializes in thoracic surgery related to the treatment of lung, heart and esophagus abnormalities. Dr. Palatt is the Chief of Thoracic Surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital. Recently, Dr. Palatt has been instrumental in bringing new thoracic procedures to our area, including Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) and Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) for biopsy of chest abnormalities without incisions in the neck or chest. This minimally invasive treatment for lung cancer allows for less post-operative pain and shorter hospital stays.
