Cardiology near Robbinsdale, MN

Care Philosophy: As a cardiac surgeon, Dr. King is highly skilled in cardiac, coronary artery bypass, valve repair and replacement, TAVR, and Aortic aneurysm surgery.

Care Philosophy: Katie Patnode makes meaningful connections with her patients through listening and education. Her aim is to provide an understanding of the complexities within cardiac disease processes and create a health care plan that best fits each patient's goals.

Care Philosophy: My approach is based upon a philosophy I learned from a mentor during my Public Health training. He said if I listened to patients long enough, they would tell me exactly what the issue was. I respect the patient's perspective and focus on joint decision-making regarding treatment choices. I believe in taking time to educate patients and their families about possible causes of their illness and work to encourage habits and lifestyle changes that prevent worsening of an illness. There are many factors that affect health outcomes, so I work closely with other specialties to address issues beyond my scope as a cardiologist to ensure that patients have all the support they need. I always want patients to leave satisfied that their questions and concerns have been addressed.
