Practicing in Broward County since 1990, Dr. Harold Roberts has evolved a practice almost exclusively confined to the surgical treatment of heart valves. In fact, over 95% of his open heart cases involve a valve. He has exceptional experience and training in the reconstruction, rather than the repair of the mitral valve. His training in mitral repair began in Paris with
Dr. Carpentier. He has since attended numerous valve meetings and courses in America and Europe in his pursuit of perfecting his craft. According to HCFA, Dr. Roberts has done more mitral repairs than any surgeon in Florida for the past several years.
Dr. Roberts has a growing experience in the use of the DaVinci robot to perform complex valve procedures through chest incisions 3/4 of an inch in length. These procedures, in selected patients, are performed at Westside Medical Center and Holy Cross Hospital.
The surgical cure of atrial fibrillation is another procedure that Dr. Roberts has regularly performed since 2000. Many of these are done robotically through similarly small incisions.
Over the past few years, as his reputation has grown, Dr. Roberts has lectured at many major cardiac surgical meetings on his valve repair techniques. He participates in numerous clinical studies involving cutting edge techniques.
On a personal side, Dr. Roberts is married with three adolescent children. A pianist since age seven, he still takes piano lessons at his children's school, and occasionally performs in recitals.
