Mr Roberto P Casula, Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon
Personal treatment philosophy:
"My father worked as a GP and Paediatric physician for 50 years and educated me with the concept that the patient and his/her needs and safety comes first. A lot has changed in healthcare provision and the way in which I practise surgery nowadays, including the new technology involved. I put my patients' needs and safety first, any time and place in my clinical practice."
