Division of General Surgery at SUNY Downstate Medical Center

» Vinay Tak, M.D., Chief
» Joshua Burack, M.D.,
» Daniel Lee, M.D.

Vinay Tak, M.D., a Division Chief, who excels in performing the entire spectrum of cardiac surgical operations, was appointed as assistant professor in February of 2007.

Joshua Burack, M.D. has been part of the faculty staff since 1990 and has been instrumental in the coordination of the cardiothoracic surgery fellowship program for the past decade.

The academic research activities in the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery had been largely dormant over the past decade. However, we have revitalized both clinical and basic science research with the recruitment of Daniel Lee, M.D. as a surgeon-scientist. Other than clinical research, Dr. Lee will be actively participating in clinical care of patients.
