About Us:
A part of Hillcrest HealthCare System, Oklahoma Heart
Institute (OHI) is the region’s largest and most advanced hospital dedicated to the prevention,
diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. Located on the campus of Hillcrest Medical Center, OHI
combines the expertise of nationally recognized cardiovascular physicians with the region’s most
advanced technology and personalized patient care. From groundbreaking research and first-time
procedures to exceptional quality outcomes, Oklahoma Heart Institute has earned a reputation as one
of the finest tertiary cardiovascular care programs in the country.
The Structural Heart and Valve
clinic is collegial, multidisciplinary, and efficient, with strong collaboration between structural
interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery, advanced heart failure, and cardiac imaging. Structural
interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery see patients on the same day and imaging is also often
obtained on the same day to offer an efficient and streamlined service to our patients. We see
referrals to Structural Heart and Valve clinics from many locations around Tulsa, including a
sizeable referral population from practices in neighboring cities and states.  This includes
referrals for simple/straightforward valve issues to very complex cases. The hospital culture mimics
the clinic culture as outlined above. We have a comprehensive, multidisciplinary cardiology
practice with all cardiology services offered. Different cardiology divisions (EP, heart failure,
vascular) work together in a collaborative fashion to provide excellent patient care. Outside of
the cardiology service line, the hospital offers all subspecialty services, and it is a
collaborative and collegial environment. This large community hospital (approximately 800 beds)
serves as a tertiary care center with all cardiology and subspecialty services offered besides heart
transplantation.Â
