Out of Town Patients
Because Dr. Sirak is one of very few surgeons across the United States who offers a five-box thoracoscopic approach to maze surgery for atrial fibrillation treatment, it is very common for patients to fly to his practice at The Ohio State University from all parts of the country. The information on this page is meant to help you get a head start in planning your trip to Columbus for treatment.
Accommodations
The Ohio State University Ross Heart Hospital offers the region's only fully dedicated cardiovascular patient facility. The nursing staff is highly experienced in the care of all cardiac surgical patients. All patients stay in spacious, state-of-the-art, private rooms which focus on each individual patient. Rather than transferring between nursing units midway through their hospitalization, patients stay in the same private room until discharge, thereby minimizing any inconvenience to patients and their families.
There are several nearby hotels for members of your family and your support group. The OSU Medical Center provides Park & Ride shuttle service to transport patients and visitors to and from campus-area hotels Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. For shuttle service, call Park & Ride at (614) 293-8669. Please make sure to ask for the hospital rate when calling.
