About
Dr. Edwin C. McGee is a cardiothoracic surgeon at Loyola Medicine who helps patients with both heart and lung conditions requiring surgical care. From repairing heart valves and treating heart failure to removing lung tumors, Dr. McGee offers the expertise patients need during some of the most critical moments of their lives.
Thoracic and cardiothoracic surgeons like Dr. McGee are trained to operate on the organs within the chest. This includes performing coronary artery bypass surgery, repairing or replacing damaged heart valves, removing tumors from the lungs and esophagus, and even performing transplants. He uses the latest surgical techniques, including minimally invasive approaches, to help patients recover faster and with fewer complications.
Dr. McGee works closely with Loyola’s nationally recognized transplant program, giving patients access to advanced heart and lung care not widely available at other hospitals. He is also committed to teaching residents and advancing the field through research and innovation.
For patients, what sets Dr. McGee apart is his approachable, down-to-earth style. He takes time to explain the diagnosis and treatment plan in plain language, helping patients and their families feel confident and supported throughout their care.
If you have been diagnosed with lung cancer, a complex heart condition, or advanced heart failure, Dr. McGee can provide expert evaluation and surgical treatment options. Schedule a consultation at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood to explore your options for advanced, compassionate care.
